Get ready for the 2022-2023 season of Cinéma Art Historique! This free-admission film series is designed to explore the connections between art history and cinema. After each screening, enjoy a Q&A and discussion with Dr. Alex Rich, Executive Director and Chief Curator, about how the evening's film aligns with the histories and stories it strives to tell.

First in this year’s series: Rodin (2017). Set in 1880, 40 year-old sculptor Auguste Rodin finally receives his first state commission, "The Gates of Hell," which includes "The Kiss" and "The Thinker," two of his most famous creations. Constantly working, he shares his life with his lifelong partner, Rose, and his mistress, the young Camille Claudel, the gifted student who becomes his assistant and a talented sculptor in her own right during a decade of passion, mutual admiration and creative collaboration. 

Registration is required, and space is limited. The film screening and Q&A will be held in the Polk Museum of Art's Auditorium.
