SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture: Tonalist Works in the Collection of the Florence Griswold Museum  Amy Kurtz Lansing\, Curator\, Florence Griswold Museum
DESCRIPTION:Many of the Tonalist artists included in the exhibition Dawn & Dusk: Tonalism in Connecticut frequented the artist’s colony established at Florence Griswold’s boarding house in Lyme\, Connecticut – today the Florence Griswold Museum\, recently rebranded as the “FloGris.” Paintings by Henry Ward Ranger and Allen Butler Talcott are on loan to the Fairfield University Art Museum for the exhibition. In a special virtual-only lecture on Wednesday\, March 26 at 5 p.m.\, FloGris curator Amy Kurtz Lansing will discuss these and other Tonalist works in the museum’s collection.  \n  \nAbout the Exhibition: This exhibition explores Tonalism in the United States from the 1880s to the early 20th century\, through artists from the Northeast such as George Inness\, John Henry Twachtman\, and John Francis Murphy. Tonalism is a transitional movement that grew out of and reacted to the Hudson River School of painting and laid the groundwork for modernism. Evocative landscapes\, evoking a spiritual connection to the natural world\, often painted from memory\, are the primary genre of this movement. The more than fifty artworks in this exhibition are drawn from private and institutional collections. \n  \nImage: Allen Butler Talcott\, Autumn\, Lyme\, ca. 1903\, oil on canvas.

SUMMARY:To See this Place: Awakening to Our Common Home
DESCRIPTION:About the Exhibition: Environmental threats and climate change are urgent matters of concern at Jesuit universities\, where conversations on this topic often take place in reference to two documents by Pope Francis: Laudato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home (2015) and the 2023 update Laudate Deum. Artists play an indispensable role in our collective response to climate change. To See This Place: Awakening to Our Common Home\, curated by Al Miner and David Brinker\, will present work by Athena LaTocha\, Mary Mattingly\, and Tyler Rai\, three contemporary artists whose outlook resonates with the themes of Laudato Si’ and Laudate Deum. Embodying a breadth of personal\, geographic\, and cultural backgrounds\, the three artists create works strongly associated with a sense of place\, whether specific or imaginary. They employ media as diverse as photography\, sculpture\, video\, and painting\, and often incorporate materials sourced from particular locales. Yet the artists draw forth broader themes from this particularity\, critiquing political and economic systems that perpetuate destructive self-interest and drawing attention to people who have been marginalized and historically excluded or harmed. The works are artistically compelling yet can inspire us to creativity and boldness in our efforts to address climate change. This exhibition will open at Saint Louis University’s Museum of Contemporary Religious Art in Fall 2025.

SUMMARY:Virtual Art in Focus: Maria Katharina Prestel\, Triumph of Truth Over Envy
DESCRIPTION:All that glitters…is gold\, in this case! Our final edition of Virtual Art in Focus this fall\, takes a look at this extraordinary print by Maria Katherina Prestel. Prestel has only recently been rediscovered by print historians\, as she worked for her husband\, Johann Prestel\, and his initials appear rather than hers on many of the works. \nJoin us at 1pm on December 12 on thequicklive.com for informal conversation about this work\, led by Curator of Education Michelle DiMarzo\, PhD. This work is included in the exhibition Ink and Time: European Prints from the Wetmore Collection (Bellarmine Hall Galleries\, September 12 – December 21\, 2024). Click here for more information about the exhibition. \nImage: Maria Katharina Prestel after Jacopo Ligozzi\, The Triumph of Truth over Envy\, 1780\, etching and aquatint in brown and ochre ink\, touched with gold leaf.
