September 9: Book Talk: Girl Braiding Her Hair by Marta Molnar
Her face and costumed poses are familiar to viewers as seen in paintings by Renoir, Degas and Toulouse-Lautrec, but few today know the story of artist’s model, Suzanne Valadon. A respected painter in her own right and time, after her death in 1938 her artistic reputation was eclipsed by the career of her artist son, Maurice Utrillo. More likely, this was because she was a woman in a man’s world. This novel sheds light on a talented and ambitious woman of early Twentieth-Century bohemian Paris.
November 12: Realism in a Modern Society:
How does personality shape art? Two iconic New York artists, George Bellows and Edward Hopper, came from similar backgrounds and are considered masters of realism. Yet they present contrasting views of America in the early 20th century as well as striking contrasts in style and subject matter.
