Aspects of Art Lectures

A bequest from Miss Henriette Hertz (d. 1913) established a fund that was intended both to support three lecture series, and more generally to enable the Academy to support scholarly research and publication. The Aspects of Art Lectures were one of the lecture series. They are intended to address some aspect of the relation of Art or Music to human culture. The lecture was first delivered in 1916.
