Cambridge, MA.- The Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts and the Departments of Comparative Literature and German at Harvard University are pleased to present “Pavel Schmidt: Franz Kafka—Verschrieben & Verzeichnet”, on view in the Sert Gallery from September 13th through October 16th. An opening panel discussion and reception will take place on Thursday, September 29th at 6 pm. The Kafka cycle presented here consists of forty-nine sketches created over the past four years by Pavel Schmidt, Swiss painter, illustrator, and installation artist. The title of each drawing is the name of a character from one of Kafka’s narratives or someone the author personally knew. Schmidt juxtaposes each drawing with a fragment from Kafka’s previously unpublished writings, which are here presented in the German with English translations.
