The Society of the Four Arts!

Dear Friend of the Four Arts, Welcome to a new season!

Each year we strive to enhance both the quality and the quantity of our program offerings at The Society of the Four Arts. As you will see in the pages that follow, the coming season will be no exception. This season, we offer brilliant new HD telecasts of the Bolshoi Ballet, expanded cultural education programs through our Campus on the Lake, and distinguished speakers from the fields of entertainment, media and politics will fill our esteemed Esther B. O’Keeffe Speaker Series.

This year, we also embark on a new era by welcoming Dr. David W. Breneman, who will join the Four Arts as president beginning in January 2015. Dr. Breneman comes from a distinguished educational background. He received his doctorate in economics from the University of California. He has been an accomplished college professor, dean and president. He has worked at the National Academy of Sciences and The Brookings Institution. He is a prolific author and a respected leader in the field of educational reform. He was president of Kalamazoo College from 1983 until 1989. He has been associated with the University of Virginia in various leadership positions since 1995.

Dr. Breneman is a gentleman of intelligence and distinction who will be an inspiring leader with true appreciation for the mission of The Society of the Four Arts. He will build on the wonderful legacy of Ervin Duggan.

“Toulouse-Lautrec and La Vie Moderne: Paris 1880-1910” This exhibition was organized and circulated by Art Services International, Alexandria, Virginia.

His Excellency François Delattre, Ambassador of France to the United States of America is Honorary Patron of the exhibition.

Exhibition catalogs will be available for purchase at the gallery reception desk.

D

rawn from public and private collections in Holland and France, this groundbreaking exhibition is comprised of approximately 200 works in a dizzying array of media: paintings, watercolors and drawings; rare zinc shadow puppet silhouettes which illustrated programs for the famous Chat Noir cabaret shadow theater; and key ephemera for Parisian theaters, circuses, cabarets and café-concerts which document the activities of artists during this rich period.

The art of Henri Toulouse-Lautrec epitomizes – in subject, style and the use of new technology – many of the “modern” tendencies in French art at the turn of the 19th century. With his art as a central focus, and considered in tandem with that of Edouard Vuillard, Pierre Bonnard, Juan Gris, Mary Cassatt and others, this is the first exhibition to present a kaleidoscopic view of the work of a generation of artists who continued the battle for artistic liberation from Academic standards.

“American Treasures from the Farnsworth Art Museum” This exhibition is organized by the Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland, Maine.

Exhibition catalogs will be available for purchase at the gallery reception desk.

T

his exhibition features more than 50 works from the Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland, Maine, including paintings and sculptures from many of the foremost names in the history of American art.

Even before the Farnsworth Art Museum opened its doors on August 15, 1948, it had already set a goal to build a collection of American art whose subjects reflected the daily experience of Maine’s residents. The museum’s earliest acquisitions often depicted the harbors, streams, fields and forests of Maine, as well as boat builders, fishermen, farmers and vacationers along the state’s scenic coastline. Maine has been both host and inspiration to many noted American painters who are featured in this exhibition, including George Bellows, Robert Henri, Marsden Hartley, Childe Hassam, Fitz Henry Lane, Eastman Johnson, Rockwell Kent, Thomas Moran and George Inness.

The Farnsworth is also known for its substantial collection of work by Andrew, Jamie, and family patriarch N.C. Wyeth, who first came to Maine in the 1920s.

Works by all three will be featured, as well as the work of sculptor Louise Nevelson. The Farnsworth holds the second largest public Nevelson collection in the world.

N.C. Wyeth (1882-1945) “Bright and Fair – Eight Bells,” 1936, oil on canvas, 46 5/8 x 56 5/8 in., Farnsworth Art Museum purchase, 1989

T

his exciting exhibition features the inventive and whimsical words of Robert L. Forbes, insightfully illustrated with Ronald Searle’s joyful watercolor illustrations. Rich with color and fanciful detail, the drawings capture the spirit and essence of each poem. The delightful collaboration of these two artists invites the viewer to expand their imagination, creativity and appreciation of words brought further to life with illustration.

Ronald Searle was long known as one of the world’s top illustrators who produced drawings for Life Magazine, The New Yorker, and numerous British publications. Robert Forbes has published three books and is fast becoming a major children’s author.

Superbly versatile as an actor, singer and dancer, she is also a role model for her courage, determination and her lifetime of unrelenting hard work.

oz Chast — the intellectuals’ favorite cartoonist — has absorbed and delighted readers of The New Yorker for more than 20 years, with her trenchant depictions of modern urban angst. At the core of her work, however, is not only sharp humor, but a deep understanding of human nature.

As a result, Ms. Chast is much decorated: she has been inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters, has won the New York City Literary Award for Humor, has been the Gail Silver Memorial Lecturer at the Rhode Island School of Design, and holds honorary degrees from Dartmouth College, Pratt Institute and other notable institutions.

Among her recent research interests are J.R.R. Tolkien’s critical essays, Christina Rossetti’s poems, and the Barsetshire novels of Angela Thirkell.

s with many people who live in Florida, Andrew Furman is a transplant who, at first, did not recognize that this state has its own unique attributes and distinctive natural history beyond the popular perceptions of swampland and alligators. Each chapter of this book focuses on a particular type of Florida fauna or flora, imbued with the personal touch of Furman’s real learning experience.

“John Wayne: The Life and Legend,”

by Scott Eyman

T

J

hroughout the centuries, Florida has been many things: an unconquered realm protected by geography, a wilderness that ruined Spanish conquistadors, “god’s waiting room,” and a place to start over. Florida is now one of the most diverse states in the country – a dynamic multicultural place with an essential role in 21st-century America. In “Finding Florida,” journalist T.D. Allman reclaims the remarkable history of the state from its mythologizers, apologists and boosters.

ohn Wayne epitomized the Western film. More than 30 years after his death, he remains the standard by which male stars are judged, and an actor whose morally unambiguous films continue to attract sizeable audiences. Author Scott Eyman interviewed Wayne and many family members, and has drawn on previously unpublished reminiscences from friends and associates of “The Duke.“

he Society of the Four Arts welcomes Sharon Louden to the Four Arts as our 2015 Beyer Artist-in-Residence. Ms. Louden is an American artist known for her whimsical use of the line.

Her paintings, drawings, animations, sculpture and installations are often centered around lines or linear abstractions and their implied or actual movement. Through her work she creates what she calls “anthropomorphic individuals.” Although abstract and formal, she feels they have human-like aspects within their minimal state, made of simple line and gesture. In reference to her minimalist paintings, Louden has been called “the Robert Ryman of the 21st century.”

M s . L o u d en wo r k s in a v ar iety of mediums: painting, drawing, sculpture and video.

She is also the editor of “Living and Sustaining a Creative Life: Essays by 40 Working Artists.”

Elissa Cullman, founder of the 30-year-old interior design firm Cullman & Kravis, and Allan Greenberg, one of the most influential architects of the modern classical movement, will talk about the dynamic – sometimes a stormy one – between designer and architect.
