Tuesday, November 6, 2018
12:10 – 1:15 p.m.

Dr. Champagne uses the contradictory relationship between Italian artist Corrado Cagli and the fascist government that supported him as a starting point for engaging his audience in a discussion of the responsibility of the artist in times of political unrest.

Faculty and staff of the Lee R. Glatfelter Library have developed, in consultation with the Laureate, a list of books and visual material that the community may find interesting and informative context for the talk. Interested community members can borrow the material from the library, where they are on reserve.

You can find a few biographical entries about the Italian artist Corrado Cagli in the Oxford Art Online database.
