Michael Farrell
Professor of History, University of Windsor, Ontario, Canada
Love and eroticism have always been subject matter for art. This lecture will trace the evolution of such depictions in drawing, painting and sculpture from ancient Egypt to Pablo Picasso. Dr. Michael Farrell has been a professor of art history and founder of the Honors Art History Program at the University of Windsor, Ontario, Canada, for the past 30 years. He is also a lecturer for Central Michigan University and has served as adjunct education curator at the Detroit Institute of Arts and the Detroit Historical Museum. He also lectures for the Radisson Diamond University of the Sea. Professor Farrell believes that there is a profound difference between looking and seeing. In his entertaining and inspiring presentation format, the difference becomes apparent.
