Freud's Colors: Design and Psychology in 19th-Century Vienna

Lecture by Eric Anderson, assistant professor of art history, Rhode Island School of Design. Sigmund Freud’s Vienna office has long been recognized as a site of intellectual revolution and an emblem of modernism. This talk considers the iconic space somewhat differently, linking materiality and color to scientific theories of vision and the mind. Sponsored by the Middlebury College Museum of Art, Department of History of Art and Architecture, and the Johnson Enrichment Fund. Free
