Arthur Danto to Speak to Present Israel Rosen Lecture
Danto, the Johnsonian Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Columbia University and art critic for The Nation, has written award-winning books on philosophy and art. His most recent works are Embodied Meanings, a book of essays on art philosophy and art criticism and Playing With the Edge, a collection of essays on Robert Mapplethorpe.
The lecture series was established in 1989 with a gift from Selma Rosen in memory of her husband, Dr. Israel Rosen, a Baltimore physician who had a passion for 20th century art. During his lifetime, Rosen, a Hopkins alumnus, had collected over 100 paintings by artists such as Picasso, Klee, Braque and Mondrian.
