The Hamilton Association for the Advancement of Literature, Science and Art presents “The Visibility of Absence:  Up Close and Personal with Vermeer” by Bryan Wylie.
Making full use of the many “seeing” inventions of his time, such as the lens, telescope, and microscope, Johannes Vermeer filled his paintings with meticulous details from daily life.  However, deeper, more profound details in many of his works were rendered all the more “visible” by their very absence.  This is a richly illustrated lecture, featuring the major works and techniques of Vermeer of Delft (1632-75).
Bryan Wylie is a retired English, Latin, and drama teacher from Hillfield Strathallan College and well-known local arts lecturer who seeks out connections among the arts, culture, and politics wthin and across eras.
