Anthony W. Lee (http://https://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/facultyprofiles/anthony_lee), Ida Plimpton Kendall Professor of Art History at Mount Holyoke, will give a gallery talk on “Photography’s Sudden Adventures” at the Wadsworth Atheneum at 12:00 noon on Thursday, October 27. The talk is free with museum admission; meet by the Museum Shop near the main entrance.

Professor Lee will discuss the Wadsworth’s current exhibition, “The Thrill of the Chase: The Wagstaff Collection of Photographs at the J. Paul Getty Museum,” exploring how photographers tracked down their subjects and grappled with the camera’s possibilities and limitations in the 19th and 20th centuries.

The Wadsworth is located at 600 Main Street in downtown Hartford. For directions and parking information, see the museum’s website (https://thewadsworth.org/visit/directions-parking/).
