Lecture

Though adjacent to the development and expansion of modern bourgeois culture in a number of contexts, freemasonry is today seldom dealt into historical relation with visual art. Marina Pinsky’s Infinite Play reminds us that there is a presence still to these terms and symbols, a class character to them, and a value to holding up—as this talk will—the understanding of modern art as a “secular form of belief” to the mirror of its lodgings.
