The Metropolitan Museum of Art Photography Lee Sandstead How can you relive, over and over, that first moment of romantic intimacy that you and lover first enjoyed?  How can you establish intimate relationships between you and your child, spouse, sibling or some material value?  Why is intimacy even important?  These answers can be found in philosophy and art. Intimacy is the result of a special type of value relationship--characterized by a very intellectual, private and positive emotional response when with one's deepest values.  Starting with the Ancient Greeks, where human intimacy in art began on a wide scale, this lecture explores these questions by documenting intimacy throughout art history.  Specific artists to be explored: Leonardo, Michelangelo, Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, Frederick Lord Leighton, John William Godward and William Bouguereau
