Please join the Graduate Art History Association (GAHA) as they welcome Dr. Emily S.K. Anderson, Assistant Professor of Classics at Johns Hopkins University, as this year's Distinguished Lecturer. Dr. Anderson will present her lecture, "The Unsettling Presence of Minoan Creatures."
From tiny objects to monumental halls, Minoan renderings of creatures were distinctively unsettling presences in Aegean social contexts. In this talk we will explore two different types of animalian thing from Bronze Age Crete and the southern Aegean: small Middle Minoan seal stones engraved with both the figures of beasts and signs of early script, and polychrome wall paintings of the Late Bronze Age that featured animals.
