An evening that centers on Vaslav Nijinsky’s Afternoon of a Faun and its legacy, which exemplifies the burgeoning modern art and culture scene of fin-de-siècle Paris that enchanted pioneering modern art dealer Berthe Weill and supplied her gallery with colorful advertising illustrations. This event will feature a live performance by New York City Ballet dancers Tiler Peck and Roman Mejia, and panel discussion and presentations by Institute of Fine Arts professor Emmelyn Butterfield-Rosen, Grey Art Museum Director Lynn Gumpert, and CBA Director Jennifer Homans.
