The Wolfsonian-FIU will present “Lines of Force: The Futurist Influence on Modern British Art,” a talk by Emily Braun, a distinguished professor at Hunter College and CUNY’s Graduate Center and curator of the Leonard A. Lauder Collection, on Tuesday, Jan. 12.

The event is set for 7 p.m. at the museum located at 1001 Washington Ave., Miami Beach.

Braun will explore the works of British Vorticists on view in the museum’s exhibit “Rhythms of Modern Life: British Prints 1914-1939” in the context of the style, iconography and cult of speed invented by the Italian Futurists.

The talk is free and open to the public.
