Watch as our team installs the 81 ink-on-paper drawings that comprise the exhibition “Fernando Bryce: The Book of Needs.” Artist Fernando Bryce isn’t interested in explaining history—he prefers to show it. On view at the Harvard Art Museums between January 20 - May 6, 2018, the multipart work "The Book of Needs” is comprised of 81 drawings that selectively reconstruct images and text from early issues of the UNESCO Courier. The international publication began in 1948 and addressed such pressing postwar issues as science, education, race, and international strife—topics that remain relevant even today.
