The Michael
and Juliet Rubenstein Lectures on Connoisseurship—Monet, Great/Not so
Great: Looking Closely
|
Friday, February 7, 6–7 pm
Join art historian Gloria Groom for a closer look at artworks from
Monet's extraordinarily long career to consider works that are
incontestably great—and others, where his ambition, technique, and
composition fall short of that adjective. This talk also considers other
factors that come into connoisseurship, including historical context,
tastes of the times, and, potentially most importantly, the market.
This series is made possible by the Michael A. and Juliet van Vliet
Rubenstein Fund.
Free with Museum admission, though advance registration is required. Please note: Space is limited;
first come, first served.

discussion that brings together designers from the real and imagined
worlds. Take a deep dive into unbuilt architectural visions and their
imagined impact on our daily lives.
