Art and Optics
A Public Conference sponsored by the New York Institute for the Humanities
Saturday and Sunday
December 1 & 2, 2001
Tishman Auditorium
NYU Law School
This two-day conference will present a public discussion of a startling new
theory being advanced by world renowned artist David Hockney, working in
collaboration with University of Arizona physicist Charles Falco, to the
effect that, as far back as the 1420s, Master Painters in the High Tradition
were deploying optical devices to render lifelike images of people and their
surroundings. The conference will bring together Hockney, Falco, and their
principal supporters and skeptics among art and science historians, critics,
scientists and painters for the first full public airing of their views.
The Conference, sponsored in part by the Sloan and Norton Family
Foundations, will be open to the public and free; attendance in the 400-seat
hall will be on a first-come/first-in basis; for overflow crowds, the
proceedings will be being piped live into the neighboring Greenberg Lounge.
Accredited press representative can obtain passes for the entire conference
or portions thereof by contacting John Beckman at the New York University
Press Office at 998-6848.
