SUMMARY:ART FILM AT THE KATE: Close to Vermeer

Visit katharinehepburntheater.org or call 860.510.0453 \nFloGris Members call 860.434.5542 x111 for discount code \nMuch has been written\, but little is known about Johannes Vermeer\, painter of iconic paintings and crowd pleasers such as The Milkmaid and Girl with a Pearl Earring. His small creative output is almost everything he left behind. Close to Vermeer follows Gregor Weber\, a globally renowned Vermeer expert and flamboyant curator at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. In the year before he retires\, he works on his big dream: the largest Vermeer exhibition ever. Together with Weber\, Vermeer enthusiasts and experts go in search of what truly makes a Vermeer a Vermeer. Through new discoveries and by dissecting the work layer by layer\, this film brings us closer to the painter to understand the decisions he made and the steps in his oeuvre.

SUMMARY:ART FILM AT THE KATE: Turner & Constable
DESCRIPTION:Frames in Film: Presented by The Kate & Florence Griswold Museum \n$17 (Members $15); ticket price includes box office fee. Visit katharinehepburntheater.org or call 860.510.0453 \nFloGris Members call 860.434.5542 x111 for discount code \nCelebrating the 250th anniversary of their births\, this unmissable new documentary explores Turner and Constable’s intertwined lives and legacies featured in a current groundbreaking Tate exhibition. Two of Britain’s greatest painters\, J.M.W. Turner and John Constable were also the greatest of rivals. Born within a year of each other\, both used landscape painting to reflect the changing world around them. Turner’s blazing sunsets and sublime scenes from his travels and Constable’s idealized depictions of beloved places from home whipped the public of the time into a frenzy of enthusiasm. Constable represents the very best of the old school of realism and pastoral nostalgia whereas Turner offered an exciting new way of depicting emotion and dreamlike impressions.

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL WINTER STUDIES: History of Photography
DESCRIPTION:Look Again: New Approaches to the History of Photography \nwith Christopher B. Steiner\, Ph.D.\nLucy C. McDannel ‘22 Professor of Art History and Anthropology\, Connecticut College \nFridays February 13–March 13\, with optional add-on Museum visit on March 20 \n$85 (Members 10% Discount); Participants choosing to attend the March 20 in-person visit to the Lyman Allyn Art Museum will pay a $10 group visit fee separately \nPurchase tickets here \nEach week this short course\, presented via ZOOM\, will explore new approaches to the history of photography by moving beyond the usual “greatest hits” to explore the medium’s overlooked practitioners and its entanglements in our everyday life. Together these sessions offer a fresh\, critical\, and innovative way to understand photography’s past and its ongoing power in the contemporary world. \nWe begin by examining the multiple inventions of photography\, from its technological origins in Europe in the 1830s to its “invented” assimilation into the history of art beginning in the United States a century later. \nFrom there we examine the ethics and politics of documentary photography by exploring the works of well-known photographers like Jacob Riis and Dorothea Lang\, as well as the unknown men and women who chronicled with their camera the peoples and cultures of their own communities. \nIn our third class session we dive into the uncanny world of spirit photography and so-called “hidden mother” portraits\, as we consider ways in which photography can capture both the visible and the invisible. \nThen we turn to the rich terrain of “vernacular” or amateur photography\, asking what our family snapshots and anonymous albums reveal about ourselves and social life? \nFinally\, we conclude by looking at the fascinating intersection between photography and painting\, highlighting the ways in which the two mediums have overlapped and complemented each other – through painted backdrops in studio portraiture; painted foregrounds in arcade or carnival photography; and the painted photograph itself\, images enhanced\, tinted or entirely transformed by the application of pigment and paint. \nAn extra optional bonus session will be offered on March 20 to take a guided tour of Photography and the Painted Image at the Lyman Allyn Art Museum\, an exhibition curated by Christopher Steiner and students in his class AHI 250: Perspectives on Photography. \nFEB 13: The Inventions of Photography\nFEB 20: Documentary Photography: Insiders vs. Outsiders\nFEB 27: Spooky Stuff: Spirit Photography and Hidden Mothers\nMARCH 6: What About My Snapshots? Exploring Vernacular Photography\nMARCH 13: Photography and the Painted Image\nMARCH 20: Bonus Session: optional visit to the Lyman Allyn Art Museum to see Photography and the Painted Image \nPlease note: to receive a Member discount you MUST be registered with an online account. Not yet registered? Sign up here. All Membership discounts will be automatically applied after you login\, enter registrant information\, and add tickets to your cart. \nThe Museum’s educational programming is supported by the Community Foundation of Eastern Connecticut; Connecticut Humanities; the Randolph and John Dirks Fund; the John and Kelly Hartman Foundation; the Sally Bill Children’s Education Fund; the Betty M.

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL LECTURE: Said in Stone: Edmonia Lewis's Sculptural Legacy
DESCRIPTION:Said in Stone: Edmonia Lewis’s Sculptural Legacy \nJeffrey Richmond-Moll\, Ph.D.\, The George Putnam Curator of American Art\, Peabody Essex Museum\, Salem\, MA \n$10 (Members 10% discount) \nPurchase tickets here \nJoin Jeffrey Richmond-Moll\, the George Putnam Curator of American Art at the Peabody Essex Museum\, for a behind-the-scenes look at the new exhibition\, Edmonia Lewis: Said in Stone. In the 1860s\, Edmonia Lewis became the first sculptor of Black and Indigenous (Mississauga) descent to achieve international recognition. Her vivid\, naturalistic stone sculptures feature abolitionists and social reformers\, engage with Indigenous identity and community\, and give new life to religious and mythological figures. Following her death in 1907\, Lewis’s legacy endured in Black communities yet her contribution to American sculpture has largely been under recognized. Said in Stone is the first museum show of its kind to gather the full range of Lewis’s art alongside works by her contemporaries and the generations of artists she influenced. \nThe Florence Griswold Museum is planning a day trip to see this exhibition at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem\, MA on Monday\, May 18. Click here for more information. \nImage: Edmonia Lewis\, Hagar\, 1875\, carved marble\, 52 5/8 x 15 1/4 x 17 1/8 in.

SUMMARY:ART FILM AT THE KATE: Hopper: An American Love Story

Visit katharinehepburntheater.org or call 860.510.0453 \nFloGris Members call 860.434.5542 x111 for discount code \nHopper’s work is the most recognizable art in America – popular\, praised\, and mysterious. Countless painters\, photographers\, filmmakers and musicians have been influenced by his art – but who was he\, and how did a struggling illustrator create such a bounty of notable work? This encore presentation takes a deep look into Hopper’s art\, his life\, and his relationships. From his early career as an illustrator and his wife giving up her own promising art career to be his manager to his critical and commercial acclaim this film explores the enigmatic personality behind the brush. Drawing on expert interviews and diaries to create a startling visual reflection of American life\, Hopper – An American Love Story brings to the big screen one of our country’s most influential artists.
