Brandeis Lecture 1 1975


I didn't just draw nudes for my sketchbook in 1975. There were plenty of clothed models available wherever I turned. This series of sketches was done at a lecture I attended at Brandeis, where I was a student in my senior year. The lecture was on early Christianity and its Jewish background. Brandeis is a "historically Jewish" university and it has hosted the very best scholars over the years. The lecturer here is Nahum Glatzer, a renowned expert on Jewish history and theology. People sitting at a talk are a lot easier to draw than people at a coffee shop, because they don't move around so much.
