Art and Science as Parallel and Divergent Ways of Knowing

In the first of two Avenali lectures, Lawrence Weschler will examine the current divide in the way artists and scientists believe they conceive the world to illustrate that the distinction is only a few centuries old and the differences they perceive may not be all that distinct or real. Weschler will explore the thinking of artists Robert Irwin and David Hockney, as well as offer a fresh consideration of Rembrandt's Anatomy Lesson.
