Myers, Barbara Thomas Lemmon Senior Curator of European Art at the Dallas Museum of Art, will present a special evening lecture titled "Naked vs. Nude: Bodies and Bathers in Nineteenth-Century France." This lecture is presented in conjunction with the special exhibition "Renoir: The Body, The Senses."
