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:Isamu Noguchi: Metal the Mirror
DESCRIPTION:“Here is where finally opposites come together\, I see a surprising purity. Stone is the depth\, metal the mirror. They do not conflict…” —Isamu Noguchi \nWhile the renowned sculptor Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988) is best known for his work in stone\, he consistently explored new materials and methods during his wide-ranging career. He first experimented with aluminum in the 1950s and later with galvanized steel\, creating a series of twenty-six sculptures in collaboration with Gemini G.E.L. in Los Angeles in 1982–83. In this body of work\, each sheet of metal is cut with a plasma torch and then dipped into boiling zinc\, resulting in sculptures that are subtly patterned and highly reflective\, resembling pebbles in a stream or the epidermal layer of skin. \nWriting about the unique materiality of his sculptures\, Noguchi described metal as a mirror in opposition to “stone [as] depth.” His galvanized steel sculptures achieve formal unity while also exploring conceptual dualities between the traditional and modern\, fine art and design\, and industry and nature. As a Japanese American artist working in the United States\, Noguchi negotiated his own feeling of in-betweenness throughout his oeuvre. The galvanized steel editions synthesize this dual aspect of his identity\, utilizing steel—a distinctly American material—while also integrating the Japanese craft of origami through cut and folded metal shapes. \nFeaturing a selection of nine galvanized steel sculptures\, the exhibition is organized into thematic groupings that underscore the paradoxes of the artist’s work in metal. In the first\, Noguchi imparts inanimate forms with human qualities\, complicating the relationship between flesh and steel\, body and mirror. Man-made material is transformed into representations of mountains\, fruit\, and sky in the second grouping\, reflecting Noguchi’s belief that\, in modernity\, industry and nature are intertwined. A final trio of works reveals Noguchi’s ongoing interest in abstraction\, bringing theoretical and spiritual ideas\, weight and weightlessness\, and past and present into visual dialogue. Through these sculptures\, Noguchi explores ways of belonging in between such imagined oppositions. Indeed\, the polished steel surfaces entangle objects\, spaces\, and people in a network of cast reflections\, inviting visitors to contemplate Noguchi’s life\, his practice\, and themselves. \nIsamu Noguchi: Metal the Mirror is curated by Julia Mun\, Curatorial Associate\, with support from Ashley Holland\, Curator and Director of Curatorial Initiatives\, and Javier Rivero Ramos\, Assistant Curator. The presentation at the Bruce is organized by Margarita Karasoulas\, Curator of Art. \nIsamu Noguchi: Metal the Mirror is organized by Art Bridges.

SUMMARY:Jeremy Frey: Woven
DESCRIPTION:The first major retrospective of the artist’s work\, Jeremy Frey: Woven presents a comprehensive survey of Frey’s prolific career spanning more than two decades. A seventh-generation Passamaquoddy basket maker and one of the most celebrated Indigenous weavers in the country\, Frey learned traditional Wabanaki weaving techniques from his mother and through apprenticeships at the Maine Indian Basketmakers Alliance. While Frey builds on these cultural foundations in his work\, he also pushes the creative limits of his medium\, producing conceptually ambitious and meticulously crafted baskets that reflect not only his technical skill as a weaver but also his profound ecological knowledge of and connection to the Passamaquoddy ancestral territory of the Northeastern Woodlands. His work relies heavily on natural resources from the region—notably black ash—many of which have come under threat due to climate change and invasive species. Frey’s work takes on new stakes against these looming environmental crises\, celebrating an endangered art form and preserving its legacy for future generations. \nFeaturing over fifty baskets made of raw materials such as sweetgrass\, cedar\, spruce root\, and porcupine quills\, Woven also offers visitors an opportunity to reflect on the cultural agency and resilience embedded in Frey’s practice. Bringing his engagement with new materials and forms to bear on his work across video\, installation\, and print\, Frey seeks to honor his ancestors\, relatives\, and future generations\, weaving together past and present to uplift viewers through the power and beauty of his ever-evolving vision. \nJeremy Frey: Woven is organized by the Portland Museum of Art\, Maine. The exhibition was curated by Ramey Mize\, Associate Curator of American Art\, Portland Museum of Art\, Maine\, and Jamie DeSimone\, Chief Curator at the Farnsworth Art Museum. Penobscot basket maker and founding director of the Maine Indian Basketmakers Alliance Theresa Secord served as a cultural consultant for the exhibition. The presentation at the Bruce Museum is organized by Margarita Karasoulas\, Curator of Art. \nSupport for Jeremy Frey: Woven is generously provided by CT Department of Economic and Community Development\, CT Humanities\, and the Charles M. and Deborah G. Royce Exhibition Fund.

SUMMARY:The Art of Work: Painting Labor in Nineteenth-Century Denmark
DESCRIPTION:One hundred and fifty years ago a group of French artists staged their first independent exhibition in Paris and a radical movement called Impressionism was born. In July of that year\, Danish artist Michael Ancher (1849–1927) joined Karl Madsen (1855–1938) in Skagen\, Denmark\, a fishing village located on the country’s northernmost point. As with the exhibition in Paris\, Ancher’s arrival there marked the beginning of an artistic revolution that would upend the academic realism and traditional modes\, subjects\, and locales of Danish Golden Age art. Inspired by growing discourses of nationalism and naturalism\, Danish artists turned to scenes of everyday life\, and especially of labor\, with local men\, women\, and children featuring prominently in their work. Indeed\, as Skagen developed into a thriving art colony in the late nineteenth century\, labor had become a defining feature of Danish painting\, paving the way for other artists—including Vilhelm Hammershøi (1864–1916) and L.A. Ring (1854–1933)—to contemplate the art of work and the work of art. \nOrganized thematically\, the exhibition features a selection of twenty-eight works from the collection of Ambassador John L. Loeb\, Jr.\, that illuminates the virtue and beauty of labor\, whether domestic\, intellectual\, or manual. Women engaged in child rearing and ordinary household tasks—such as laundering\, setting the table\, or mending clothes—reflect the quiet intimacy of domestic work. Agricultural and maritime labor\, which predominated in the coastal towns where many Danish artists lived and worked\, also appear frequently in these paintings\, which serve as testaments to the strength\, endurance\, and respectability of local farmers\, fishermen\, and their families. Other pictures capture the mental exertion required for piano playing\, reading\, writing\, and painting\, positioning artistic creativity as its own valued form of labor. While the portraits\, landscapes\, and interiors on view highlight the dynamism of work as a subject in nineteenth-century Danish art\, they also stand as potent reminders of the artistic labor inherent to their making. \nThe Art of Work: Painting Labor in Nineteenth-Century Denmark is organized by the Bruce Museum and curated by Margarita Karasoulas\, Curator of Art\, and Jordan Hillman\, Curatorial Associate. Support for The Art of Work: Painting Labor in Nineteenth-Century Denmark is generously provided by CT Department of Economic and Community Development\, CT Humanities\, Gabelli Funds\, and the Charles M. and Deborah G. Royce Exhibition Fund.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Heimat Photography and the Art of Trude Fleischmann
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, June 12 at 5 p.m.\, Elizabeth Cronin\, author of Heimat Photography in Austria (2015)\, explores Trude Fleischmann in relation to this aspect of 1930s visual culture. “In Austria\, what is generally referred to as Heimat (home or homeland) photography featured local sights: peasants\, churchgoers\, skiers and rural alpine landscapes. As these traditional\, romanticized images came to be identified with the idea of a nation\, they were used by the Standestaat of 1930s Austria to promote a national identity that grew into fascism.” \nAbout the Exhibition: Austrian-born Trude Fleischmann (1895-1990) was one of the most accomplished female photographers of the 20th century. After great success in Vienna in the 20s photographing artists\, models\, and performers\, she fled the Anschluss in 1938\, first to Paris and then New York. She opened a studio on Fifth Avenue in 1940 and photographed many of the artists and intellectuals of the day\, including Eleanor Roosevelt and Albert Einstein.

SUMMARY:Hill-Stead Short Course - Impressionism: French Origins\, American Afterlives
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\nThursday\, June 12 2025 at 6pm – Manet\, Sloan\, and Critique\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. The sessions at 6pm will begin with wine and cheese at 5:30pm. The sessions at 3pm will begin with coffee and goodies at 2:30pm.\nSchedule (Summer 2025): (Every other Thursday\, alternating at 6pm or 3pm at Hill-Stead)\nJune 12\, 2025 at 6pm – Manet\, Sloan\, and Critique\nJune 26\, 2025 at 3pm – Renoir\, Glackens\, and Leisure\nJuly 10\, 2025 at 6pm – Morisot\, Henri\, and Portraiture\nJuly 24\, 2025 at 3pm – Monet\, Hassam\, and Light\nAugust 7\, 2025 at 6pm – Degas\, Shinn\, and Spectacle\nAugust 21\, 2025 at 3pm – Cassatt\, Bellows\, and Gender

SUMMARY:Isamu Noguchi: Metal the Mirror
DESCRIPTION:“Here is where finally opposites come together\, I see a surprising purity. Stone is the depth\, metal the mirror. They do not conflict…” —Isamu Noguchi \nWhile the renowned sculptor Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988) is best known for his work in stone\, he consistently explored new materials and methods during his wide-ranging career. He first experimented with aluminum in the 1950s and later with galvanized steel\, creating a series of twenty-six sculptures in collaboration with Gemini G.E.L. in Los Angeles in 1982–83. In this body of work\, each sheet of metal is cut with a plasma torch and then dipped into boiling zinc\, resulting in sculptures that are subtly patterned and highly reflective\, resembling pebbles in a stream or the epidermal layer of skin. \nWriting about the unique materiality of his sculptures\, Noguchi described metal as a mirror in opposition to “stone [as] depth.” His galvanized steel sculptures achieve formal unity while also exploring conceptual dualities between the traditional and modern\, fine art and design\, and industry and nature. As a Japanese American artist working in the United States\, Noguchi negotiated his own feeling of in-betweenness throughout his oeuvre. The galvanized steel editions synthesize this dual aspect of his identity\, utilizing steel—a distinctly American material—while also integrating the Japanese craft of origami through cut and folded metal shapes. \nFeaturing a selection of nine galvanized steel sculptures\, the exhibition is organized into thematic groupings that underscore the paradoxes of the artist’s work in metal. In the first\, Noguchi imparts inanimate forms with human qualities\, complicating the relationship between flesh and steel\, body and mirror. Man-made material is transformed into representations of mountains\, fruit\, and sky in the second grouping\, reflecting Noguchi’s belief that\, in modernity\, industry and nature are intertwined. A final trio of works reveals Noguchi’s ongoing interest in abstraction\, bringing theoretical and spiritual ideas\, weight and weightlessness\, and past and present into visual dialogue. Through these sculptures\, Noguchi explores ways of belonging in between such imagined oppositions. Indeed\, the polished steel surfaces entangle objects\, spaces\, and people in a network of cast reflections\, inviting visitors to contemplate Noguchi’s life\, his practice\, and themselves. \nIsamu Noguchi: Metal the Mirror is curated by Julia Mun\, Curatorial Associate\, with support from Ashley Holland\, Curator and Director of Curatorial Initiatives\, and Javier Rivero Ramos\, Assistant Curator. The presentation at the Bruce is organized by Margarita Karasoulas\, Curator of Art. \nIsamu Noguchi: Metal the Mirror is organized by Art Bridges.
