- Wednesday June 10th: Martin Ward, Temple Chevalier Professor of Astronomy at Durham: Are We Alone in the Universe?

This week’s lecture is by SCR member Dr Lucy Whelan who will be talking on:
Seeing, hiding, and finding women in modern art: the case of Marthe Bonnard
This talk asks how women have appeared in the history of modern art, introducing topics like the “male gaze”. It focuses in particular on the case of the modern artist Pierre Bonnard and his wife and model Marthe, whose life story and reputation has been systematically distorted and overlooked until now.
