Artur Cech's lecture «Sex in the History of Art» in Almaty
On 24 May, one of the most charismatic and professional speakers in the field of culture - Artur Chekh - will visit Almaty with a lecture. And he brings his, perhaps, the most savoury lecture:
Sex in the history of art
Art is always talking about life and reflecting on the theme of basic needs. And what are man's basic desires? Of course - food, sleep and sex. For centuries, humans have portrayed sexuality in various aspects in order to realise and understand not only their bodies, but also their relationships with each other and the possibilities of interaction
This lecture explores the sexual culture of all times and peoples, from the primitive and archaic cultures of Egypt and Greece to the twenty-first century. The excursion will clearly demonstrate on masterpieces how sex has evolved from a sacred ritual into a way of talking about anything but itself. And at the same time it will open your eyes to the fact that there is a lot of sex in our usual and favourite masterpieces of visual creativity
Arthur is one of the top speakers in the field of art history at the moment. His lectures attract hundreds of people in more than 20 major cities around the world (from London to Almaty).
His lectures attract the audience with their lightness, accessibility and plenty of humour, without compromising the volume and freshness of the material. Arthur has found a way to easily and deliciously teach the viewer to understand art, speaking to them in an understandable modern language.
