SUMMARY:Lecture & Preview Party for The Age of Armor: Treasures from the Higgins Armory Collection at the Worcester Art Museum
DESCRIPTION:Lecture & Preview Party with Jeffrey Forgeng for The Age of Armor: Treasures from the Higgins Armory Collection at the Worcester Art Museum\n\nThursday\, November 9 | 6 – 8 p.m.\nEnjoy an exclusive first look at The Age of Armor: Treasures from the Higgins Armory Collection at the Worcester Art Museum before it opens to the public. Jeffrey Forgeng\, Curator of Arms and Armor and Medieval Art at the Worcester Art Museum\, will lead the event with a lecture. \nFrom the warriors of ancient Greek legends\, to the knights of the Middle Ages\, to the superheroes of today’s popular culture\, the idea of personal body armor has an enduring hold on the human imagination. Armor is as old as human civilization\, and has been used in various forms in societies around the globe\, but full suits of articulated steel plates were made only in Europe\, and only for a brief time in the late Middle Ages and Renaissance. This exhibition explores the story of armor in its golden age. \nSuits of armor are among the most popular objects with museumgoers\, but there are few significant collections of armor in the Americas. In 2014\, the Worcester Art Museum acquired the Higgins Armory Collection. While most of this rare collection is in storage awaiting the creation of a dedicated arms and armor gallery\, there is a unique opportunity to share these objects with a national and international public. Visitors will discover the diverse and often surprising stories embedded in these powerful objects. Far from the ungainly exoskeleton we often imagine today\, the suit of armor was made to be sleek and stylish—painstakingly engineered\, elegantly designed\, and treasured as the expression of its owner’s taste\, sophistication\, and prowess. \nThis exhibition was organized by the Worcester Art Museum.

SUMMARY:Lecture & Preview Party for Ginny Ruffner: Reforestation of the Imagination
DESCRIPTION:Lecture & Preview Party with Grant Kirkpatrick for Ginny Ruffner: Reforestation of the Imagination\n\nGenerous Support for this exhibition is provided by Art Bridges \nThursday\, October 12 | 6 – 8 p.m.\nEnjoy an exclusive first look at Ginny Ruffner: Reforestation of the Imagination before it opens to the public. Grant Kirkpatrick will lead the event with a lecture. \nReforestation of the Imagination combines traditional sculpture with augmented reality (AR). By using technology to overlay digital information onto sculptural objects\, two disparate environments are portrayed. \nThe setting is an apocalyptic landscape far in the future. The initial environment consists of five landmasses\, which support the glass stumps. Except for the painted shelf mushrooms and tree rings on the stumps and logs\, the scene is colorless. The landmasses surround a sixth rocky outcropping that features a large fiberglass stump. The central stump sprouts beautifully grotesque bronze\, then glass appendages. This improbable growth has survived the devastation to create a new botany. \n“Other than the central stump\, the landscape appears at first glance to be barren. Yet\, upon viewing the tree rings aided by AR technology a second environment is revealed. Plants appear (both fruit and flowers) which have evolved from existing flora. They have developed dramatic appendages and the skills necessary to adapt and flourish in this radically different environment. From accessing nutrients in ways that symbiotically improve their surrounding conditions\, to cultivating protections from new threats\, these adaptations are unexpected\, beautiful\, and optimistic. This is nature reimagining itself. The imagination cannot be exterminated. It just recreates itself.” —Ginny Ruffner \nAbout the Artist: \nSeattle-based artist Ginny Ruffner trained at the University of Georgia\, graduating with honors and an MFA in drawing and painting. Ruffner has had more than eighty five solo exhibitions and several hundred group shows\, and her flameworked and mixed-media sculptures and installations can be found in numerous national and international collections. Seattle public art installations include a 30 foot tall kinetic water feature downtown and a permanent installation in the Seattle Art Museum’s Olympic Sculpture Park. Recent augmented reality projects\, in collaboration with Grant Kirkpatrick\, include Weston Riff at Photo Center NW; Branches at Seattle International Film Festival; and Poetic Hybrids at the Seattle Art Museum. She has written two books and been the subject of an award-winning full-length documentary\, A Not So Still Life: The Ginny Ruffner Story (2010). Ruffner has lectured and taught extensively and has served as artist-inresidence at schools and universities around the world. \nGrant Kirkpatrick is an emerging animator and new media artist based in Seattle. After studying at Cornish College of the Arts for three years\, he graduated with a focus on motion design and animation. Coming from a fine arts background\, Kirkpatrick has considerable interest in the intersection of art and technology\, particularly VR/AR\, game design\, and mixed-media work. \nGinny Ruffner: Reforestation of the Imagination is organized by the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Generous support for this exhibition is provided by Art Bridges\, the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative\, Elizabeth and James Eisenstein\, Ed and Kathy Fries\, Shelby and Frederick Gans\, James Renwick Alliance\, Colleen and John Kotelly\, Betty and Whitney MacMillan\, Jacqueline B. Mars\, Kim and Jon Shirley Foundation\, and Myra and Harold Weiss.

SUMMARY:New Date Announced: Lecture & Reception for Rania Matar: SHE
DESCRIPTION:New Date\nLecture & Reception with Rania Matar for Rania Matar: SHE\n\nFriday\, September 29 | 6 – 8 p.m.\nMembers: $60 | Non-Members: $100\nRania Matar\, the featured photographer\, will lead the event with a lecture.\nEvent Lecture Topic:\nFrom the Individual to the Collective: The Photography of Rania Matar\nBook Singing: SHE\nBorn and raised in Lebanon\, Rania Matar moved to the United States in 1984. She has dedicated her work to exploring issues of personal and collective identity through photographs of female adolescence and adulthood. Matar works both in the United States and the Middle East in an effort to focus on notions of identity and individuality within the context of the underlying universality of these experiences. \nSHE features 50 large-scale color images of young women in their 20s—the ages of Matar’s own daughters—leaving the cocoon of home and transitioning into womanhood. In earlier projects\, Matar photographed young women in relation to the controlled environment of their bedrooms. Here\, she captures them in the larger arena they find themselves in after leaving home—the global and complicated backdrop that now constitutes their lives in transition. Organized by The Museum Box LLC\, Boston\, MA.

SUMMARY:Lecture & Reception for A Graphic Journey: Prints by Pablo Picasso
DESCRIPTION:Lecture & Reception for A Graphic Journey: Prints by Pablo Picasso from the Dr. Timothy Collins Collection with Megan Fontanella\, Curator\, Modern Art and Provenance at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York\n\nYoung Picasso in Paris\nTuesday\, July 18 | 6 – 8 p.m.\nMembers: $70 | Non-Members: $100\nEnjoy an exclusive look at A Graphic Journey: Prints by Pablo Picasso from the Dr. Timothy Collins Collection. Megan Fontanella\, Curator\, Modern Art and Provenance at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York will lead the event with a lecture. \nA Graphic Journey presents an insightful gathering of approximately 60 prints by one of the great masters of the 20th Century\, Pablo Picasso. It provides a unique window into a significant era in art history and takes a serious look at the artist’s development and creative process. Best known for his paintings and sculptures\, Picasso was also a major innovator in the medium of printmaking. He made prints throughout his career — his first in 1899\, when he was still a teenager\, and his last in 1972\, when he was 90 years old. \nThe exhibition illustrates the three major phases of Picasso’s printmaking career\, as well as his signature artistic themes. A special feature of this collection is the number of proofs it contains. These proofs illustrate the unique working relationship Picasso maintained with his printers and their workshops\, and allow for close examination of the working process behind it. Organized by Landau Traveling Exhibitions\, Los Angeles\, CA. \nAbout the Speaker:\nMegan Fontanella is Curator\, Modern Art and Provenance\, at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York. Her research encompasses late nineteenth- through mid-twentieth-century European and U.S. avant-gardes\, with a particular focus on dealer networks and collecting patterns. Since joining the institution in 2005\, Fontanella has curated or co-organized over thirty exhibitions for the Guggenheim’s constellation of museums in Bilbao\, New York\, Venice\, and formerly Berlin\, as well as developed shows abroad for the traveling exhibitions program. \nTo mark the opening of the exhibition A Graphic Journey: Prints by Pablo Picasso at the Huntsville Museum of Art\, Guggenheim curator Megan Fontanella examines the artist’s initial forays into Paris as a young man and the impact of the contemporary subjects and styles he encountered there. Pablo Picasso (b. 1881\, Málaga\, Spain; d. 1973\, Mougins\, France) arrived in the city of light from Barcelona in autumn 1900\, during the final weeks of the Exposition Universelle. Though the nineteen-year-old Spaniard spoke little French\, he absorbed everything Paris had to offer over his initial two-month stay\, and again after his return to the capital the following spring through the end of 1901. Picasso patronized not only the art galleries\, but also the bohemian cafés\, raucous nightclubs\, and sensational dance halls that permeated his hilltop neighborhood of Montmartre. Le Moulin de la Galette (ca. November 1900)\, one of the artist’s first paintings in Paris and recently the subject of a conservation research and treatment project at the Guggenheim\, is a highlight from this pivotal juncture in the artist’s development. Picasso’s early work presages the social disenfranchisement that he brought into sharper relief in his subsequent Blue Period (1901–04) through his depictions of the exploited and vulnerable. On the precipice in 1900\, Picasso eventually crafted a singular practice reflective of his time. \nPresenting Sponsor:

SUMMARY:Member Preview Day of Mystery and Benevolence
DESCRIPTION:Member Preview Day\nSaturday\, April 1 | 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.\nMuseum Members Only\nThe Huntsville Museum of Art invites our Museum Members to attend an exclusive\, Members-only preview of our newest exhibition\, Mystery and Benevolence: Masonic and Odd Fellows Folk Art from the American Folk Art Museum\, the day before it opens to the public. As always\, Museum admission is free for Members. Docents will be leading two tours of this exhibition for our Members. Take a deep dive during your preview day by attending a tour at 11 a.m. or 2 p.m. \nThe mystique of secret societies\, with their cryptic signs\, gestures\, and arcane rituals\, has been embedded in our American experience since the early 18th century. Before the age of mass production\, artists who painted a portrait or embellished a piece of furniture might have also decorated a parade banner\, an apron\, symbols on a chart\, or a backdrop for a fraternal lodge. More importantly\, he or she encoded the ideals of fellowship\, labor\, charity\, passage\, and wisdom – the core of fraternal teachings – into the many forms associated with fraternal practice. The iconic art and objects showcased in Mystery and Benevolence relate the tenets of fraternal belief through a potent blend of highly charged imagery\, form\, and meaning. The exhibition explores the fascinating visual landscape of fraternal culture through almost 200 works of art comprising a major gift to the American Folk Art Museum from the Kendra and Allan Daniel Collection. Organized by International Arts & Artists\, Washington\, DC. \nMystery and Benevolence: Masonic and Odd Fellows Folk Art from the American Folk Art Museum was organized by the American Folk Art Museum\, New York\, NY from the Kendra and Allan Daniel Collection and is toured by International Arts & Artists\, Washington\, DC. \n

SUMMARY:Lecture and Preview Party: Beauty\, Passion and Bliss
DESCRIPTION:Lecture and Preview Party of Beauty\, Passion & Bliss: 19th Century Masterworks from the Dahesh Museum of Art with Art Historian David Farmer\nSaturday\, March 26 | 6 – 8 p.m.\nTickets available Monday\, March 7\nMembers: $50 | Non-Members: $75\nJoin us in celebrating the opening of a new exhibition with a Lecture and Preview Party on Saturday\, March 26 at 6 p.m. \nDrawn from the rich collections of the Dahesh Museum of Art in New York City\, Beauty\, Passion & Bliss features an outstanding selection of paintings and sculptures that embody the 19th-century European academic tradition. Originating in 16th-century Italy\, this tradition was based on learning to draw the human figure\, and in adhering to principals of ideal beauty epitomized by Classical and Renaissance art. \nThe exhibition features a surprisingly wide range of themes and styles. There are historical\, religious\, and mythological paintings\, considered the highest form of art\, as well as examples of the ways in which historical themes were transformed into intimate\, detailed genre scenes that\, along with landscapes and idealized rustic subjects\, appealed to wealthy and middle-class European and American collectors. Also well-represented is Orientalism — highly popular images of the Middle East and North Africa that freely commingled reality and fantasy. Organized by the Dahesh Museum of Art\, New York\, NY.

SUMMARY:Members' Lecture & Preview Party for American Impressionist Art from the Thomas Clark Collection
DESCRIPTION:LECTURE IS SOLD OUT \nPlease join us for a Lecture & Preview Reception with collector Thomas Clark \nSaturday\, July 28\, 2018\nLecture: 5:30-6 p.m.\nReception: 6-7:30 p.m. \nMembers: Free | Non-members: $25\nSeating limited to 175.\n \nOne of the finest private holdings of American impressionist art in upstate New York\, the Thomas Clark Collection is a testament to the enduring legacy of Impressionist painting in American art. The collection emphasizes representative examples from the last great generation of artists who emerged both during and in the aftermath of the American Impressionist movement (1880-1920). These artists were the students and sketching partners of the seminal figures in the development of Impressionism in America\, such as William Merritt Chase\, Willard L. Metcalf\, John Henry Twachtman\, and Robert Henri. The American Impressionists were primarily concerned with capturing the effects of light\, color\, and atmosphere achieved by painting directly from nature — out-of-doors — rather than in the studio. This generation of landscape painters flourished in areas such as Old Lyme\, Connecticut; Cape Ann\, Massachusetts; New Hope\, Pennsylvania; and Woodstock\, New York; as well as areas of Vermont and California. The exhibition includes about 70 works by artists such as Arthur C. Goodwin\, Emile Gruppé\, George Loftus Noyes\, and Harry Aiken. Organized by HMA.

SUMMARY:Painting a Nation: Hudson River School Landscapes Lecture & Reception
DESCRIPTION:Members’ Lecture & Reception\nThursday\, October 19\, 2017\nLecture: 6:00-6:45 p.m.\, Great Hall (Doors open at 5:30 p.m.)\nLecture will be given by Dr. David Stewart of UAH who will be discussing the Hudson River School and the American Dream.\nReception 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.\, Gallery Level (Hosted by the Museum Guild)\nReception will include wine and hors d’oeuvres.\nFree to Museum members/ Included with general admission for non-members \nOnline registration is closed.  Call 256.535.4350 ext. 208 for ticket availability. \nNatives of New York\, Ann and Lee Higdon developed an interest in art during their teenage years. They often visited museums and found themselves drawn to paintings of the Hudson River School. After marrying and purchasing a nineteenth-century home overlooking the Hudson\, they began to collect paintings of the Hudson River School in the 1980s. For nearly forty years\, their interest in this artistic period has endured\, resulting in the collection of works on view in this exhibition. \nIn the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries\, American artists looked to Europe for both aesthetic themes and painterly methods of depicting the world around them. This began to change in the early decades of the nineteenth century as artists adapted European aesthetics to develop a distinctly American landscape narrative.  The name Hudson River School\, originally intended to be disparaging\, was coined to identify a group of landscape artists living in New York City\, several of whom built homes on the Hudson River. The term has evolved beyond regional expression and is now generally accepted to describe nineteenth-century American landscape painting. \nPainting a Nation: Hudson River School Landscapes from the Higdon Collection features significant American artists from the Hudson River School\, including Albert Bierstadt\, William Bradford\, Jasper Francis Cropsey\, William Hart\, William Trost Richards and many others. The majority of the works depict scenes of New York State and include paintings of the Hudson River\, Lake George and the Adirondack Mountains region.  However\, the second generation of Hudson River School painters extended their visual reach into areas along the Atlantic Coast and Far West\, reflecting the expansion of the United States during the mid-nineteenth century.  Together\, these paintings celebrate the picturesque beauty of our nation and reflect the collective desire of the Hudson River painters to develop a uniquely American visual language\, independent of European schools of painting. \nAssembled with a discerning eye for quality\, the Higdon Collection includes superb examples of Hudson River School paintings\, the first native school of painting in the United States. \n
