Please visit often to find information on my upcoming lectures and events. Frye Art Museum: 2021 Pandemic Art History Lecture Series This spring we condense our usual September to June series into five months, with pre-recorded lectures available twice a month, each followed a week after release date by a live question and answer session. You may purchase a series pass at any time or access to individual lectures after they have been released to subscribers. Available lectures are Wayne Thiebaud; Medieval Marginalia; Hearts and Flowers: Romantic Symbols in Western Art; John James Audubon; San Marco in Venice; and The Tarot Garden of Niki de Saint Phalle. Upcoming: Thursday, April 8 — Q&A 11 am Thursday, April 15 Civilized Pleasures: Wine and Art For millennia, the history of Western art has run parallel to that of the fruit of the vine, which has had a central role in both classical symposia and Christian ritual. Objects from the Sumerian Standard of Ur to Renoir’s Luncheon of the Boating Party celebrate the conviviality of fellowship and wine.
