ANTIQUE SLIDESHOW ANTIQUES
Thursday, January 29 at 1:00 pm
Some of the most moving and beloved American landscape paintings were created in the mid nineteenth century in a style known as luminism. Luminist employed a variety of painterly techniques to convey a sense of a site’s atmosphere with such dramatic effect that viewers felt the experience of being at the location. When well executed, these works create a sense of awe and a lasting memory. This program will use slides to present works by about twenty artists who excelled in this style. The speaker will be antiques journalist Bob Jackman. OPTIONAL: If you have an example of luminist art, bring it to the presentation, and Bob will be happy to offer comments. Admission is free. While the talk will be organized around a sequence of 70 slides, the atmosphere will be informal with questions and answers throughout the presentation. Expect to learn a bit, share some laughs, and have a good time. Admission is free. Please sign up in advance at the front desk or by calling 781-834-5581.
