This lecture explores the many varied images of the bed in Art.
The bed has been the site of multiple encounters in art from Titian’s stunning mythologies through Manet’s Olympia, Picasso’s nudes, and the object of Tracey Emin’s infamous My Bed. But if the bed has been linked to passion, it has also been linked to death, and this lecture explores its manifestations in the art of Caravaggio, Munch, Klimt, and others.
