Dr. Johannes Beltz will give a lecture on the visionary Swiss artist and scholar Alice Boner. The lecture will highlight Boner's deep involvement with Indian intellectuals of her time, including travelling with Uday Shankar in India. Boner significantly shaped the understanding of India's art history by exploring, documenting, and publishing temple sculptures, architecture, and Kathakali. She also introduced new approaches to analyzing Indian sacred art using geometric principles to perceive sculptures as true works of art composed within certain patterns.
