On the walls of his small study tucked away in the second floor of the Fogg Art Museum, the works of Georges Braque and Walter Sickert—the painter who some think led a double life as Jack the Ripper—represent just a small sample of Harvard’s massive holdings that students do not see.Lentz, who was named HUAM director in 2003, now manages the largest university art collection in the country.
