The Women's Council Speaker Series Committee is pleased to welcome Dr. Landau, the Andrew W. Mellon Professor of the Humanities at Case Western Reserve University. She has taught in the Cleveland Museum of Art/CWRU Joint Program in Art History since 1982, with courses specializing in 20th-century American and European art and theory, particularly Abstract Expressionism. Considered the leading expert on Jackson Pollock, she is the author of the definitive book on the artist (1989).

Dr. Landau's lecture explores the personal and artisitic interrelationship between Jackson Pollock and noted Swiss born photographer and graphic designer Herbert Matter. Compelling visual and documentary evidence traces the critically important chain of influence between these two creative individuals.

Tickets available through the Cleveland Museum of Art ticket office, 216-421-7350 or www.clevelandart.org. Tickets $5 for students, $10 for CMA members, and $20 others.
