Perhaps you have noticed, we are doing more at
the Academy Art Museum. We have more classes
and more students than ever before. We have
more concerts, more lectures, more trips and
even more exhibitions. In 2011 we expanded
the collection with significant gifts of paintings
and drawings. We are bringing in more school
groups through ArtReach than ever before. We
are adding members too. It is exciting and fun
to be part of such a vibrant institution.
As you look through this issue of Academy, I
hope you will consider trying something new as
well. Join us for a trip to a museum in DC or a
show in Baltimore. Try a class and stretch your
creativity. Join us for Music and Tea at Three.
If you don’t see something you like, give us a suggestion and maybe we can make
it happen. We serve our members and the greater community through artistic and
educational offerings. I’m sure we have something for you too.
It is with considerable regret that I announce the retirement of Walter Winston
from the Academy Art Museum. Walter, as he is universally known, has been working
here for more than 35 years. For a long period of time he was also employed in
the Talbot County Public Schools. In the 1960s Walter served in the Army in Viet
Nam. He is a lifelong resident of Talbot County. Anyone who has spent time here
will recognize Walter, especially if you have been involved in one or another of the
popular festivals hosted by the Museum. He is the man who gets things done and
keeps the operation running. He does this with calm competence and a hefty dose
of humor. On January 8 we will recognize Walter with an Open House. I encourage
you to stop by and share a story as we thank a remarkable individual.

André Kertész: On Reading
Continuing through January 15, 2012
Henri Cartier-Bresson once said of himself, Robert Capa,
and Brassaï, that, “Whatever we have done, Kertész did
first.” He was referring to the legendary Hungarian
photographer André Kertész, a prominent member
of Cartier-Bresson’s circle in 1920s Paris. Kertész’s
influence continued well into the 1970s, affecting
another generation that included Lisette Model,
Berenice Abbott, Helen Levitt, Robert Frank,
Garry Winogrand, and Lee Fiedlander, among
many others.
On Reading, a series of photographs made by Kertész in
Hungary, France, and the United States over a 50 year
period, illustrates his penchant for the poetry and
choreography of life in public and also private moments
at home, examining the power of reading as a universal
pleasure. Balanced between geometric composition and
playful observation, it is easy to understand how these
glimpses of everyday people and places changed the course
of photographic art.
Kertész (American, born Austria-Hungary, 1894–1985)
began taking photographs in Budapest in 1912. He
was drafted into the Austro-Hungarian Army where he
volunteered for service at the Polish and Russian fronts.
Wounded in 1915, he returned to Budapest before
moving to Paris in 1925. Kertész circulated among
avant-garde literary and artistic groups and embraced the
deep culture of Paris between the World Wars. With the rise
of Hitler and the Nazis, many from the Parisian community
took their discoveries to America. Kertész moved with his
wife, Elisabeth, to New York in 1936 where he
worked as an artist and commercial photographer
for the rest of his life.
The exhibition is organized by The Museum of
Contemporary Photography, Columbia College,
Chicago. The exhibition tour is organized by
Curatorial Assistance Traveling Exhibitions.

Atrium Gallery
Portrait Paintings from the
Permanent Collection
Continuing
The portraits on display in the Atrium Gallery represent a selection of the permanent collection
of the Academy Art Museum, including a promised gift. In these artistic representations of persons,
the intent of the artist is to display the likeness, the personality, and even the expression of the sitter.
The exhibited artworks form a cohesive group in subject matter, in which the face is predominant
while at the same time they illustrate developments in portrait painting, from the eighteenth-century
portrait by Thomas Sully (1783-1872). His Reverend Michael Hurley (c. 1813) looks quite
resplendent in his robes of office. Frank Weston Benson’s (1862-1951) Portrait of a Child
(etching and dry point, 1912) demonstrates that the print medium is well suited for portraiture.
The Portrait of Ann Krestensen, in oil paint, is depicted by Leonard Bahr (1905 – 1990), the prolific
portrait painter, as well as a highly regarded professor at the Maryland Institute College of Art.
Chuck Close is represented with his large-scale Phil/Fingerprint (1981/ 2009). In this screen print
Close inked his thumb and forefinger and pressed them to the lithography stone to achieve a subtle
range of grays. The portrait exhibition also includes work by Jim Dine, Anthony-Peter Gorny,
David Plumb, Everett Shinn, and Davy Trivieri.
Permanent Collection Galleries
Out on a Limb:
Forests and Trees from the Permanent Collection
Continuing
The Academy Art Museum is the fortunate recipient of two recent gifts
of artwork: Greg Mort’s Afterglow and Patricia Tobacco
Forrester’s Avila. Inspired by these gifts we have brought together
10 more works from our permanent collection that feature trees
and forests.
In the European tradition the representation of trees and forests
as an expressive element or independent theme has origins in the art of
Renaissance and Baroque Germany and the Netherlands. Artists like
Albrecht Altdorfer (1480 – 1538), Albrecht Dürer (1471 – 1528), and
others developed the idea that a pure landscape could stand alone as a
subject. Frequently these artists employed prints (woodblocks, etchings,
engravings) as the medium to investigate the expressive possibilities of
trees and forests. In the 17th century Rembrandt (1606 – 1669) and his
Dutch contemporaries composed scenes of humble rural life that were
often dominated by trees. Human activity is diminished in the face of
larger natural forces.
The 10 artists in this exhibition draw on those traditions and
other later artistic movements as varied as Romanticism, Abstract
Expressionism, and Minimalism in their depictions of trees and forests.
Many of these works have an autumnal quality, with trees that hold few
or no leaves, and seem to invite reflection and contemplation. Others
reflect the a sense of wonder at the power of nature. Another group
suggests a natural harmony between human activity and the forest.
Together they present a richness of arboreal images and ideas.

Dotti Heimert
December 10, 2011 - January 29, 2012
Opening Reception: Saturday, December 10, 2-4pm
Dotti Heimert attended the Moore Institute of Art in Philadelphia.
Although she was classically trained, she quickly fell in
love with modern art. Dotti enjoyed using unexpected materials
in abstract ways to convey her ideas. As she said, “It’s got to
be rusty.” Dotti’s friends would bring her gifts of rusted metal
or strange wood shapes. The best find was always something
culled from the landfill or the Crumpton Auction which she
attended most Wednesdays.
From soft sculpture (fiber and paper), Dotti turned to
assemblage, using architectural elements and found objects in
her art. She had recently begun incorporating words, phrases
and old photographs to convey her ideas in the mixed media
assemblages for which she is best known.
Dotti was a purist and created her assemblage pieces without the
addition of paint, cutting or any manipulation. She fabricated
her work with materials as they were found. She believed that
“a cigar is never just a cigar.”
Dotti and her husband, Bert
Heimert, moved to
Bellevue, MD,
around 1990
where they
renovated the
old Bellevue
Store. Dotti
opened the
Bellevue Store &
Gallery where she
exhibited her art as
well as the art of many
local artists. She enjoyed
collaborating with artist
friends.

Patrick Henry
Ephemeral Moments
February 4 - April 1, 2012
To view a painting by Patrick
Henry is to recognize a bond
between the artist, the land
he loves and its impact on
a regional culture. It is a
culture that is slowly fading
with the changing landscape,
leaving intimate, nostalgic
and fleeting reminders of
simpler times gone by.
Patrick Henry was born on
Maryland's Eastern Shore
and after receiving his Bachelor
of Science degree from
the University of Maryland
Eastern Shore, he taught art
classes at the local high school
for two years. It was during
this period that he turned to painting scenes of the area, featuring
historical and symbolic images of the Eastern Shore culture
and decided it was time to pursue a professional career in the arts,
Patrick Henry
Afternoon on Vine Street
Oil on canvas
specifically in oil painting. To subsidize his painting career, Patrick
Henry worked in masonry and maintenance positions. Slowly, as
his work increased in recognition he was able to devote more time
to his passion. Patrick Henry has built a reputation over several
decades as a quintessential Eastern Shore painter.
The 1990s saw Patrick Henry involved with one-man and group
exhibitions throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. A major mural
commission at Atlantic General Hospital in Berlin, MD,
highlighted that time period. During the next decade, Patrick
Henry’s work was represented by galleries outside the Eastern
Shore region. With a successful inaugural show at Main Street
Gallery in Annapolis, MD, a new wave of collectors became exposed
to Patrick Henry’s artwork.
In 2005, The Daily Times newspaper recognized Patrick Henry
as Delmarva’s Best Local Artist. The Reginald R. Lewis Museum
in Baltimore, presented Patrick L. Henry: Into the Light, in 2007.
Patrick realized the achievement of a career-long dream, of having
his work displayed in a museum during his life-time. In 2010, the
Lewis Museum purchased his painting Berlin Milling Company,
for its permanent collection. Recognition continued in 2011 as a
readers poll by "Maryland Life Magazine" selected Patrick Henry
as the Lower Eastern Shore's Finest Artist. Clearly, Patrick Henry’s
career path has been quite unique; his talent, along with passion
and his solid work ethic, have been the driving force that has
allowed his work to flourish.
Patrick Henry regularly exhibits at The Globe Theater, Berlin,
MD, and at Studio S, in Rehoboth Beach, DE.

U Mark Rothko:
P COMING EXHIBITIONS
Selections from the National Gallery of Art
February 4 - April 22, 2012
The Academy Art Museum is especially pleased to once again present an
outstanding exhibition in collaboration with the National Gallery of Art.
In February 2012, the Museum will open Mark Rothko: Selections from the
National Gallery of Art.
One of the preeminent artists of his generation, Mark Rothko (1903-1970)
was a leader of the Abstract Expressionist movement. The Russian born artist is
also closely identified with the New York School of Painters that emerged during
the 1940s as a new collective voice in American art. During a career that spanned
five decades, he created a new and impassioned form of abstract painting.
Rothko's work is characterized by rigorous attention to formal elements such as
color, shape, balance, depth, composition, and scale. He was also fascinated by
human psychology and the state of the mind.
This exhibition will include not only the iconic color paintings of the 1950s and
1960s, but also works from the 1930s and 40s when Rothko employed more
representational and symbolic imagery. In these pre-World War II years, Rothko
began to express the tragedy of the human condition, while looking for new
subjects and a new idiom. He said, "It was with the utmost reluctance that I
found the figure could not serve my purposes....But a time came when none of
us could use the figure without mutilating it." By the late 1940s, Rothko had
virtually eliminated all elements of surrealism or mythic imagery from his works,
and nonobjective compositions of indeterminate shapes emerged. He also largely
abandoned conventional titles, sometimes resorting to numbers or colors in order
to distinguish one work from another. The artist also now resisted explaining the
meaning of his work. "Silence is so accurate," he said, fearing that words would
only paralyze the viewer's mind and imagination. Most of the graphic artwork on
view at the Academy Art Museum is on exhibit for the first time.

Kyung-Lim Lee:
The Order of Contemplation
February 4 - April 15, 2012
Kyung-Lim Lee was born in Seoul, South Korea, in 1957 and
emigrated to the United States with her family in 1972. She
studied art at Pratt Institute and graduated with a BFA in drawing
in 1983. She remained in New York City after graduation
continuing to paint and draw. Lee had her first solo show in 1993.
Since that time she has exhibited in many group and solo shows
at institutions such as P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, the Bronx
Museum, and the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art
among other venues. Currently she divides her time between New
York, Arizona, and Maryland.
Lee’s abstract drawings and paintings are the result of a complex
thought process based upon her consideration of set of 10 Chinese
and Korean language characters. These characters represent words
and ideas such as Flesh, Bone, Soul, and Resolution. She is
interested in language and systems of meaning. Paradoxically, no
system is readily evident when viewing her works. The conceptual
framework that is essential to the production of the images is not
overtly represented. Rather one may be struck by the power of the
colors and an overall radiance. Even the monochromatic works
have auras that suggest celestial bodies. Orbs, ellipses, trapezoids
and other forms float in space sometimes free and sometimes
linked by unseen forces of magnetism. The images are quiet and
subtle and require close attention. Like an icon or a votive painting
they invite a one-to-one relationship between the viewer and
the object.

Along with Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael, Michelangelo Buonarroti
(1475–1564) discovered and exemplified the classical style of the Renaissance.
Classicism looked to ancient Greek and Roman sculpture for
models of beauty, proportion, and symmetry from which to create an ideal
world. But was Michelangelo’s art truly classical? Dr. John T. Spike shows
that Michelangelo’s immense and enduring authority derives from his genius
for energizing classical equilibrium with surges of emotional passion.

Andrea Palladio (1508 – 1580) was the most influential architect of the
Italian Renaissance. Through his buildings, drawings and especially his
treatise, "The Four Books on Architecture", he inspired generations of
architects and builders. In this illustrated lecture, Warren Cox will introduce
Palladio, his works, and his times. He will then discuss Palladio’s
influence in England and the New World through key figures like Inigo
Jones, Lord Burlington and their followers. He will conclude with an
examination of Palladianism in America, especially in the buildings of the
Virginia Tidewater and the Eastern Shore.

Museum receives gift in memory of Seiko Behr
Seiko Behr, a Japanese ceramic artist and an Ikibana (“flowers kept alive”) master, is well-known
to this Museum’s audience through her one-woman exhibition “Contemplation and Reflection” in
2007. There was a Japanese tea ceremony and a demonstration during the exhibition. Ms. Behr used
her own sculptures especially designed and created for this exhibition as containers for her Ikebana
arrangements. The container is a key element of the composition and sculptural on its own, even
without the floral designs.
Seiko Behr passed away in 2010. In her honor Al and Carla Massoni donated Mountain to the
Academy Art Museum.

Museum Scholarships Open Doors to “What Can Be”
By Amy Blades Steward
When Katina Emory of Easton was approached by a Secret
Santa in 2006 to help provide gifts for her family at Christmas
time, she had no idea how the gift of ballet lessons
would profoundly affect her daughter, Alaleya’s life. Katina
recalls the day she got the call about the Secret Santa, “It
came into our life at a perfect time. I had five children, was
a single mom, and I was working full-time. Times were
tough.”
The Secret Santa who had approached Katina and her family
wanted to carry forward her own mother’s giving spirit
following her recent death and asked Katina to identify
something special that each of the children liked to do. In
struggling to decide on an activity for her five-year old, the
Secret Santa asked her whether her daughter might like to
take ballet classes at the Museum.
Katina comments, “It was not something I thought of initially,
but Alaleya took to ballet right away. She was a shy child
and ballet really helped her with her self confidence and even
helped her in school.”
Unfortunately, after the Secret Santa’s donated classes were
finished at the Museum, Alaleya had to withdraw due to the
family’s financial constraints. Katina
remembers trying cheerleading in the
two years her daughter was away from
ballet, but the sport failed to bring the
smile that ballet put on her daughter’s
face.
Finally, Katina came back to the
Museum in 2008 and talked with
Museum staff member Janet Hendricks
about scholarship possibilities
for Alaleya. Through Janet’s help,
Alaleya qualified for the Museum’s
financial assistance program and was
able to return to ballet classes over the
last two years.
Katina exudes, “Just asking opened
the door for Alaleya to come back and
she loves it. The class gives her the
motivation to dance to whatever she
hears inside. There is a physical difference
in her since she has come back.
She is confident around people and
has made friends in the class.”
She adds, “Over the past few years, the Museum has become a part of our
lives. We have had the opportunity to experience the arts even more. Alaleya
even took a sewing class here. The portrait she did of a ballerina with
her mentor was even on display at the Museum this past spring.”
Alaleya quips, “Ballet makes me feel happy. By practicing, I am getting
better at it. It surprises me what I can do.”
Her mother adds, “Seeing her dance in June at her first ballet recital,
‘Petipa, Ballet Russes and Beyond’ with the Ballet Theatre of Maryland
in Annapolis, was amazing for all of us. I will never forget the gift of my
Secret Santa. It’s been such a blessing in Alaleya’s life."
Scholarship are available for many of the Museum's
classes or porgrams. Applications are available
at the Museum's front desk.
Contact the Museum for additional information.

Museum's Young Explorer,s Program
featured in the Smithsonian's Early
Enrichment Center's newsletter
This fall the Museum's Young Explorers program was
chosen by the Smithsonian's Early Enrichment Center to be
featured in their first newsletter. The article appears below:
Academy Art Museums' Young Explorers
Continues to Grow
Seven years ago, the Academy Art Museum in Easton, MD, was
looking for a solution. Its KinderMusic program was fully subscribed,
serving infants, toddlers and their moms. But all too
soon—by age two and a half--the little ones were ready to graduate.
The parents, however, loved the Museum environment and didn’t
want to move on.
As an interim solution, the Museum offered an in-house program
for two to four-year-olds that ran one day a week. Meanwhile,
head teacher Melanie Young surveyed museum-based curricula and
found SEEC’s “Museum Magic,” with its emphasis on creativity and
hands-on experiential learning, to be the best by far!
In the fall of 2008, the Academy Art Museum purchased licensed
curriculum from SEEC for what became the Young Explorers
program. That first year, 24 students participated in a two-dayper-week
program. Now in its fourth year, the program offers
a variety of options—including both two and four-day
schedules. Enrollment has almost doubled.
Parents, Kevin and Zana Gately of Easton may
offer clues as to why. Their daughter, Sophia,
enrolled in the program last year when she
was two. According to her parents,
Sofia has blossomed in Young Explorers.
Kevin Gately comments, “As an
only child, she was fairly shy. This
program has helped her come out
of her shell.” He adds, “Being in a
museum, the program provides more of a
school environment. Sophia showed an interest
in art, so we chose this program because
it offered enrichment at an early age. Her
exposure to famous artists and to music just
further expands her experience.”
Teacher Melanie Young appreciates
both the strong framework SEEC
provides and the opportunity to
individualize her lesson plans.

Young Explorers
OPEN HOUSE
Wednesday, January 25, 2012
5:30-6:30pm
Registrations for the 2012-2013
term wil be accepted.
Each day the program utilizes the exhibits, collections and
resources of the Academy Art Museum to encourage exploration
and discovery. In the classroom, these experiences
are extended as students learn about shapes, letters, colors,
and numbers through such diverse themes as dinosaurs,
outer space, and architecture.
Melanie finds it helpful to distribute a weekly newsletter
that keeps parents abreast of what’s happening in the
program. The feedback she receives has been a real treat.
One parent, for example, reported that her threeyear-old
led her on a tour of their home—not to
point out the color blue, but to assemble
objects that related to
Picasso’s blue period.
Now that’s enrichment!

Museum Produces Video
The Academy Art Museum recently produced its first video
advertisement which is airing this fall on Comcast Cable
Network’s A&E, History, Discovery Food and TLC channels.
Museum members and the community participated
in the video, which will air on the Museum’s website before
Christmas. Original music was generously provided by
Kentavius Jones, www.kentaviusjones.com and video was
provided by Doug Sadler and Linda Farwell of The Pocket
Media Group www.thepocketmediagroup.com. These artists
made the video Academy Award quality for us! Amy Steward
of Steward Writing & Communications also provided project
oversight and helped clean up the paint!

2011 Craft Show Record Attendance
The 2011 Craft Show was held on October 22nd and 23rd and
drew over 1000 visitors—a record! Thanks to the outstanding
work of chair Boots Michalak and her committee, this annual
event has grown into the premier regional craft show, attracting 65
top artists from the Mid-Atlantic and beyond. Innovations at this
year’s Preview Party included a silent auction of exceptional craft
items, cocktails, and hors d’oeuvres catered by Oxford Greens. In
addition to spotlighting artists, the Craft Show is a major fundraising
event for the Academy Art Museum. At the wrap-up meeting
pictured at right, Boots shared the good news that this year’s Craft
Show, netted approximately $35,000 for the Museum!
Music and Tea at Three Draws a Crowd
The Academy Art Museum hosted its first in a series of four Music and Tea at
Three Concerts on Wednesday, October 4th. The event featured a full afternoon
tea by the Robert Morris Inn and a concert by pianist Rachel Franklin.
The next tea is scheduled for Wednesday, December 7 at 3pm and will feature
harpist, Jacqueline Pollauf. The Robert Morris Inn will again be providing
tea. Other dates include February 15, 2012 with guitarist Benjamin Beirs
and March 13, 2012 featuring harpischordist Wayne Wold.
Museum board member Joyce Doehler of Easton serves tea to new board member Nancy
Appleby of Bozman at the first Music and Tea at Three event.

event. Pictured left to right are committee members Linn Ong, Karen Mathis, Marie

ANNUAL
APPEAL
For over 50 years, the Academy Art Museum has been
committed to enhancing cultural life for all on the
Mid-Shore through outstanding exhibitions and a
broad array of programs. To that end, a key strategy is
to offer classes, concerts, trips, lectures, outreach programs,
and exhibitions at a reasonable cost (or no cost
at all! ) even when the expenses escalate.
At the same time, the Museum’s trustees and staff
maintain a longstanding track record of operating
with a balanced budget and no debt. Since program
revenues and other earned income can’t cover overall
expenses, the Museum must seek additional funding to
bridge the gap and achieve the next level of excellence.
Here’s how it breaks down for FY 2012. While overall
expenses are projected at $1,160,000, program revenues
and other earned income will bring in $410,000
(or 35%) of the total amount needed. The remaining
$750,000 must be raised from different sources of
contributed income.
When you renew your membership or participate in
special events like the fall Craft Show and spring Paint
the Town fundraiser, your financial support helps boost
contributed income. Other key components include
corporate, foundation, and government grants. As

ROM THE CHAIRMAN
I couldn't be more excited about the
future of the Museum. We begin
our 2011-12 fiscal year in a strong
financial position, despite a soft
economy. We have no debt, which
enables us to focus upon accomplishing
our mission rather than payments
of principal and interest, and we will
operate under a balanced budget in
the coming year. Bravo!
We have a very capable and engaged Board which is generous in
its support of the institution, and a first rate Director with a year
of experience under his belt, who is well known and respected in
the community. And, to complete our staff, we have added two
professionals-Beth Jones, Director of Development, a long-term
area resident who hit the ground running and is already making a
big difference; and Anke Van Wagenberg, Curator, a true
professional who brings a lifetime of experience in the arts into our
midst. So we have a strong foundation upon which to build, and
build we will!
New Board Members Bring Diverse Talents
The five new board members, recently appointed to the Museum’s
Board of Trustees, bring diverse talents to the board’s membership.
Warren Cox of Church Hill and Washington, DC, is Senior Partner
Emeritus at Hartman-Cox Architects, a firm he co-founded and
where he managed such projects as the recent renovation of the
Hay-Adams Hotel, the Corcoran Gallery of Art and Winterthur
Museum. His firm has received numerous prestigious awards and
Warren himself received the Centennial Medal for Service to the
Profession by the Washington Metropolitan Chapter of the AIA.
Robin Clarke of Easton is a returning board member after serving on
the board from 2004 – 2010. She hails from Chicago and has been
a long-time advocate for the arts, having served on the boards of
both the Lyric Opera and Art Institute of Chicago, as well as launching
the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition in Indiana.
Jeff Staley of Bozman is retired, having most recently served as a
principal with Mercer Management Consulting, an international
management consulting firm. His passions since retirement,
however, keep him busy racing cars and sailboats, and playing
music as a percussionist. Nancy Appleby of Bozman and McLean,
VA, is retired Special Counsel to America Online. Since retirement,
Nancy has volunteered in the independent school arena. She is
currently on the Board at St. Andrew’s Episcopal School and
Hillwood Estate, Museum and Gardens. Dirck Bartlett of Easton
is director of business development at Ilex Construction &
Development, a family-owned construction and woodworking
This issue of the Academy describes a plethora of exhibitions,
educational programs and entertainment truly remarkable for a
community of Easton's size. That all this can be done with a
fulltime staff of just six persons is amazing! But, with your
support, we can do more, and we will. The Academy Board is
in the final stages of preparing a strategic plan to govern the next
three to five years which we believe will take the Academy to the
next level. Among other things, the plan will propose a significant
expansion of our arts education program, particularly for area
students. We look forward to sharing its contents with you early in
2012. Stay tuned!
In sum, the Academy is in very good shape and we are well
positioned to make it an even greater contributor to the cultural
health of the community in the future. With your continued
support we can make it happen!

company. In addition to his leadership of a number of civic
organizations, Dirck recently completed his term as president of
the Talbot County Council, on which he has served since 2006.
While we hope you welcome our new board members, we also
want to thank retiring board members Diane Staley, Suzanne
Whitmore, Mark Freestate, and Nan Peterson for their years of
service to the Museum.

Snapshot: Painters and Photography,
Bonnard to Vuillard
We will visit the Phillips Collection and the special
exhibition, Snapshot: Painters and Photography, Bonnard
to Vuillard. Pierre Bonnard and Edouard Vuillard are
known primarily as painters, however they and
several other post-impressionist artists experimented
with photography for their private use, interpreting the
new medium and producing surprising, inventive
results. This exhibition debuts many previously unpublished
photographs taken by painters with a hand-held
Kodak camera during the 1890s. Approximately 200
photographs, 40 paintings, and 60 works on paper
integrate the histories of painting and photography, and
explore the inspiration afforded by the new medium in
such subjects as domestic interiors, city streets, nudes,
and portraiture. Optional visit to the nearby Hillyer Art
Space and the Marsha Mateyka Gallery.
Bus leaves Creamery Lane Parking Lot at

Ford's Theatre

Cost: $75 Members, $110 Non-members PTRI107
In his fourth commission for Ford’s Theatre, playwright Richard Hellesen explores the two documented
encounters between Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln during a period of national
crisis. As Lincoln searches for a way to end slavery in the summers of 1863 and 1864, Douglass’s
rhetoric and conviction challenges the president to envision a post-emancipation world. Together,
the men imagine not only a unified nation but a society that brings truth to the Declaration of Independence
assertion that “all men are created equal.”

VTRI147
In 1886, while living in Paris, Vincent van Gogh dramatically altered his manner of painting landscapes
and still lifes. By experimenting with depth of field and focus and using shifting perspectives,
he produced some of the most radical and original works of his career. Dominated in the foreground
by close-up views of grasses, wheat sheaves, or tree trunks, van Gogh’s canvases in this period suggest
a detailed study of nature and a concern with representing the sensory experience of being outdoors.
