SUMMARY:Edwin Binney 3rd Lecture: The Beginnings of Buddhist Imagery in India
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, March 9\n10:00 a.m. PT\nSpeaker: John Guy\, Florence and Herbert Irving Curator of the Arts of South and Southeast Asia at The Metropolitan Museum of Art\nVirtual Event \n  \nBefore the appearance of the Buddha image some 500 or so years after his lifetime\, the visual repertoire used to teach the Buddha’s message was one rich in its celebration of the natural world\, presided over by its personified spirits\, the yakshas and nagas. This talk explores the earliest recorded cultural landscape of Buddhist India\, that of monastic Buddhism\, and the cult of relics that was central to Buddhist worship. The rich archaeological and artistic legacy\, when read alongside the canonical and narrative literature of early Buddhism\, paints a vision of a fragrant and colorful world where the monastery served as a sanctuary for mendicants and a place of beauty and quietude intended to attract lay follower. \n  \nSpeaker Biography \nJohn Guy is the Florence and Herbert Irving Curator of the Arts of South and Southeast Asia at The Metropolitan Museum of Art\, New York\, and an elected Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries London (2003) and of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2016).

SUMMARY:Dynamic Equilibrium: Berenice Abbott’s Documentary of the Invisible
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, March 15\n10:00 a.m. PT\nSpeakers: Sarah M. Miller\, Ph.D.\, Professor of Art History\, Mills College at Northeastern University\nMOPA@SDMA Joan and Irwin Jacobs Theater \n  \nThe San Diego Museum of Art Docent Council is excited to welcome Sarah M. Miller\, Ph.D.\, who will explore how photographer Berenice Abbott’s unique theory of documentary photography was shaped by her experience amidst Europe’s photographic avant-gardes and her collaboration with American art critic Elizabeth McCausland. Abbott put this theory into practice in her WPA-sponsored project Changing New York (1935-39). But when she published the project in book form in 1939\, it was subjected to editorial censorship that made it impossible for readers understand its scope\, creativity\, message\, and political implications. Having recently reconstructed the photographer’s suppressed original manuscript for the book\, Miller will discuss what it reveals not only about Abbott’s sophisticated photography and her analysis of New York’s built environment\, but also about 1930s contests over the very meaning of “documentary.” \n  \nSee works by Berenice Abbott after the lecture in Berenice Abbott: Changing New York\, on view at The San Diego Museum of Art in Gallery 14/15 with entry near the Panama 66 restaurant. \n  \nPlease note\, this lecture is in-person only and held at the state-of-the-art MOPA@SDMA Joan and Irwin Jacobs Theater in Balboa Park. \n$10 members and students | $15 seniors and military | $20 nonmembers \nSave my spot!\n  \n\nThis lecture is presented as a part of the Guest Lecture Series\, which focuses on works of art on view in the Museum as well as topics of interest in the broader art world. Lectures are followed by docent-led virtual tours. \nSponsored by The San Diego Museum of Art Docent Council. \n  \nFeatured: Berenice Abbott\, Metropolitan Life Building\, New York (detail)\, ca. 1935.
