About the Course
In this Triton Talk, Jan Hintermeister will discuss the intersection of ornithology (the branch of zoology dedicated to the study of birds) and art with a focus on Nathan Oliveira’s artwork. He will discuss some aspects of birds in human cultural history which necessitates looking at art. Please join us as Jan helps us to reflect on the interpretation of birds in artistic representation.
