:An exhibition in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the publication of Les Fleurs du mal held in conjunction with the colloquium “The Flowering of Baudelaire.”
Charles Baudelaire found inspiration in both classical and modern sources, in art and in everyday life. He embraced the power of the imagination to transform reality and create new worlds based on its perception. The unparalleled impact of Baudelaire’s poems, translations and art critique was felt both internationally and across an extraordinarily wide range of aesthetic media. The exhibition brings together literary texts, translations, excerpts of art critique, graphic and musical works that either inspired Baudelaire or played a significant role in his legacy.
October 8 – November 2, 2007, John Hay Library
Opening hours: Mon-Fri 9 am – 6 pm and Sun 1-5 pm; the exhibit will also be open to the public on Sat Oct. 13, 1:30 -3 pm & Sat Oct. 20, 9 am – 5 pm.
