The Metropolitan Museum of Art Photography Lee Sandstead Narrative Art Illustrated lecture—one hr Throughout history, art that relates a story has been considered the highest form of art due to its wide-scale integration of simple objects, figures, gestures and complex moral themes to significant events from history and literature.  What is the fundamental value of narrative art? How does one learn the often forgotten stories that drive narrative art?  And how can one integrate this art into one's own life?  Answering these crucial questions, this illustrated lecture will survey several of art-history's greatest narratives and narrative artworks-from the romantic story of Cupid and Psyche, to Michelangelo's forthright David to proud images of George Washington Crossing the Delaware, plus many more.
