SUMMARY:Hill-Stead Short Course - Impressionism: French Origins\, American Afterlives
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\nDescription:\nFew chapters in the history of modern art are more loved and revered\, more foundational and debated than the story of French impressionism. The group of painters who initially brought this style of artmaking to world-wide fame was initially small but with each passing generation their supporters and followers have continued to grow. Now\, more than 150 years after the first impressionist exhibition in Paris in 1874\, the scholarship concerning this style of painting is so extensive that it is difficult to summarize. This short course of 6 lectures confronts this daunting situation head on by breaking impressionism down into key artists and themes central to the movement\, focusing specifically on its original practitioners in France and those who later adopted the style in the United States. By analyzing the work of a celebrated French master like Edgar Degas alongside that of his American follower Everett Shinn\, for instance\, or the paintings of Pierre-Auguste Renoir in conjunction with those of William Glackens\, the transatlantic ramifications of impressionism and the enduring power of Hill-Stead’s collection are clarified.\nNo previous course work in art history is required and no background reading is assigned. An informal syllabus of additional reading\, however\, is provided for those who are interested. Each lecture will run about 45 minutes. The sessions will be followed by a Q&A and informal wine reception.\nSchedule (Spring 2025): (Every other Thursday at 5:30PM at Hill-Stead)\n20 Feb 2025 – Manet\, Sloan\, and Critique\n06 Mar 2025 – Renoir\, Glackens\, and Leisure\n20 Mar 2025 – Morisot\, Henri\, and Portraiture\n03 Apr 2025 – Monet\, Hassam\, and Light\n17 Apr 2025 – Degas\, Shinn\, and Spectacle\n01 May 2025 – Cassatt\, Bellows\, and Gender

SUMMARY:Conversation with Collector Tony Yurgaitis
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\nJoin us on Wednesday\, March 5 at 6pm for a conversation with Tony Yurgaitis\, owner of Arethusa Farm in Litchfield\, about his passion for collecting. Tony’s story\, fusing appreciation of art with a passion for farming\, is a familiar one at Hill-Stead. Hear more about honoring this connection with a discussion led by Executive Director\, Dr. Anna Swinbourne.\nFrom Renaissance Madonnas to contemporary paintings\, Picasso ceramics to Murano glass\, and folkloric weathervanes to Danish Flora Danica\, Tony has acquired works of art of all kinds from all around the world. He is a collector who lives with his art\, thoughtfully placing each object within the stunningly beautiful interiors of his home. In these rooms\, he enjoys and shares the collection with his family and friends.\nA parallel endeavor in Tony’s life is the business of sustainable agriculture. At Arethusa\, which he acquired in 1999\, the team is devoted to humane and environmentally responsible practices in pursuit of excellent dairy products\, including their award-winning cheeses and delicious ice cream.\nCocktail reception to follow.\nTickets: $30 members; $35 non-members\nThis lecture was rescheduled from February 27.
