The opening is Wednesday, March 31st from 5:30 – 7:30
The most interesting looking people come to art openings.. these were at the Ellen Carey show at West Hartford Art League that opened last night…shot with my Canon G11… the first is art dealer and collector Marion Harris..
and here is a video I shot of Ellen Carey talking about her show
I wanted to see the Rembrandt show at the Wadsworth Atheneum before it closed so I asked Brian if he wanted to go with me. To my surprise he said yes…act casual Julie… whenever my almost 21 year old son wants to do something with me I’m thrilled… So we went down on a cold Sunday afternoon to see the show. It was small group of paintings but worth seeing… any photographer that wants to learn about beautiful portrait lighting needs to study Rembrandt and the old masters.
My favorite painting in the museum is this one by Panini…I wonder if the sandwich is named after him…anyway… it’s really amazing in person.. following is a description from the Atheneum:
Interior of a Picture Gallery with the Collection of Cardinal Silvio Valenti Gonzaga
Artist: Giovanni Paolo Panini
(Italian, 1691-1765)
1740
The Ella Gallup Sumner and Mary Catlin Sumner Collection Fund, 1948.478
Cardinal Silvio Valenti Gonzaga (1690-1756), whose picture gallery is shown in this painting, was secretary of state to Pope Benedict XIV (1740-1758). In addition to his duties in the papal service, he took a keen interest in the arts, helping to found and install the Pinacoteca Capitolina, to reopen the Accademia di San Luca, to preserve ancient museums from plundering, and to regulate the exportation of works of art. Cardinal Gonzaga was also an avid collector, and the fruits of his collecting are partially depicted here. (The Cardinal stands with the artist in the center of the composition beside an enlarged copy of Raphael’s Madonna della Sedia).
We ended up seeing pretty much the whole museum.. a great way to spend a winter afternoon. Here is Brian in a contemporary gallery pondering shades of gray.
