Art on Screen: Botticelli, Florence, and the Medici
Wednesday,
September 21, 2022 | 2 PM & 7:30 PM
Art on Screen returns for another season of
captivating film screenings featuring some of the most revered
artists of all time. With two screenings on Wednesdays including a
new matinee time at 2 PM, we kick off the series with Botticelli,
Florence, and the Medici. This season showcases Botticelli,
Edward Hopper, Cézzane, and
more. To see the schedule, click here.
During a time
of political power struggles and brutal violence, the Renaissance
Florence of Lorenzo de’ Medici was a tumultuous period that also had
a burst of creative genius. One artist, more than any other, was able
to capture this zeitgeist in his works, the lights and shadows of an
era destined never to be forgotten: Sandro Botticelli
(1445-1510). From the outset of his career under the wing of the
Medici family, Botticelli asserted himself as the inventor of an
ideal Beauty, which found its maximum expression in works such
as The Allegory of Spring and the Birth of
Venus.
General Admission is $15.00. Member tickets are $12.00. Become

Kaki King: Modern Yesterdays
Friday, Sept.
30, at 8 PM
Considered one
of the most unique and influential guitarists of our time, Kaki King
continues to deconstruct and redefine the role of solo instrumental
artist though virtuoso technique, insatiable imagination, and
boundless humanity. Her now-signature multi-media performance, both
provocative and moving, uses projection mapping to present the guitar
as a tool that can shape both music and video content.

Art on Screen: Hopper: An American Love Story
Wednesday,
Nov. 9, at 2 & 7:30 PM
Hopper’s
work is the most recognizable art in America – popular, praised, and
mysterious. Countless painters, photographers, filmmakers and
musicians have been influenced by his art – but who was he, and how
did a struggling illustrator create such a bounty of notable work?
This new
film takes a deep look into Hopper’s art, his life, and his
relationships.
