November 3, 2011; 7:30 p.m.

Join distinguished scholar Dr. Susan L. Siegfried, Denise Riley Professor of the History of Art and Women’s Studies at the University of Michigan, as she describes how the easy exchanges between the real and the fantasy elements in late 18th-century French genre scenes helped patrons and viewers participate in the scenes imaginatively.
