The McMullen Museum welcomes Art History Professor and chair of the Art, Art History, and Film department at Boston College, Claude Cernuschi, for an illustrated lecture: "Fragmented Body and Fragmented Self: The Theme of Exile in the Neo-Surrealist Works of Rafael Soriano." In conjunction with the McMullen Museum's current exhibition, "Rafael Soriano: The Artist as Mystic", Cernuschi will analyze Soriano's mature work in relation to his exile and to his formal and thematic engagement with surrealism, particularly, the work of Hans Arp, Hans Bellmer, and Arshile Gorky.
