Location: Recital Hall, Cleveland Museum of Art, 11150 East Boulevard

In this talk Gay Robins, Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Art History at Emory University, explores the ways in which the Egyptians used color to represent their ideas about the created world, its divine inhabitants, and the king who ruled on earth as the sun god’s representative.
