| MAIN HALL / OCTOBER |
Julia Talcott: Recent Works: Woodcuts
October 4 - 30
Reception: Wednesday, October 4, 7:30PM
|
|
Red and
Green Jazz |
Following a long career in commercial illustration, Talcott finds it freeing to play with shape and color in woodcuts, as she returns to her roots in fine art and printmaking. In this exhibit she’s exploring variations on a theme: circles within a grid pattern: baseballs, eggs, suns shimmering, radiating, coalescing into a round, filled whole as they spin, each contained in a square of a grid, like a tic-tac-toe board. “Some of my prints remind me of lunar or solar phases….” the artist says, commenting on the feeling of growth they express. Sinuous lines and textures and a diversity of colors add a sense of movement and contrast.
“A circle is a very satisfying shape, complete in itself, yet infinitely variable,” she says. “I think of it like an egg, an orb holding information that will inform its final shape.” To that end, she accepts the accidents that happen in printmaking and, following the muse, lets the shapes roll into a final phase of their own making.
Talcott’s prints have been exhibited at Newtonville Books and Newton Open Studios, locally. As a freelance illustrator she has designed material for the Museum of Fine Arts, New York Times, Newsweek, Children’s Museum of Boston, AT&T and many other clients. For the U.S. Postal Service she created 5 Contemporary Christmas Stamps in 1996; 2.6 billion were printed. She is also a 4-time recipient of a Certificate of Design Excellence from Print magazine.

| GALLERY / OCTOBER |
Deborah Kravitz: Portals to the Unconscious
October 4 - 30
|
|
The Alpha and the Omega |
“Portals to the Unconscious” leads the viewer to a place of “beauty and darkness,” from the artist’s inner world, both imagined and felt, to whatever association the works evoke for the viewer, says Kravitz, who works in mixed-media monotypes and acrylic paintings. In a style or theme reminiscent of H. Bosch, she draws on myth as well as the collective and personal subconscious to depict such images as “A Haunted Place,” “A Resurrection,” “The Depths,” “Primeval World” and “Burning Trees.” Meticulous to detail, she draws surreal scenes of hooded or bandaged figures, alone on a blasted plain; fields where creatures that might be animal or vegetable arise; the delicate filament of leaves; frosted pods and a cutaway landscape where we see the roots or bones of the earth exposed, three trees blowing above on a grassy hill. This is “The Alpha and the Omega,” all that lies above and below the earth and in our minds.
Kravitz has exhibited in Boston at Vose Gallery, Howard Yezerski Gallery, Bromfield Gallery, Pucker-Safrai Gallery, Saint Botolph Club, Gallery Naga, Francesca Anderson Fine Art in Lexington, DeCordova Museum, Provincetown Art Association and Museum, in Texas, New York City and other places.

| Archaeology Talk on the Tomb Burials of Japan and Korea |
|
In honor of Massachusetts Archaeology Month, archaeologist Richard Pearson will bring a fascinating talk and audio/visual presentation to the Library on Tuesday, October 17, at 7:30PM: “A Story of Gold Crowns, Swords, and Warrior Figures: The Tomb Burials of Japan and Korea, 250 to 600 A.D.”
During the Tomb Period of Japan (250 to 600 A.D.) large tombs, some rivaling the size of the Qin Dynasty Tomb of the Terra Cotta Warriors in Xian, China, were constructed. Rulers were buried with mirrors and swords, and were watched over by clay tomb figures. Pearson will examine the Fujinoki Tomb near Nara, probably one of the Japanese Imperial Tombs, which are generally inaccessible to archaeologists. Tantalizing evidence of interaction with the Three Kingdoms of Korea and China can be seen in these tombs.
What was the social and political organization of the communities who honored their rulers with such display?
|
Pearson has conducted fieldwork in Polynesia, Japan, Korea and Taiwan, and has written on the Neolithic cultures of China. His book, Ancient Japan, surveys Japanese archaeology from its early beginnings to the rise of Japanese civilization in the Nara and Heian Periods. He has also written extensively about the Jomon Culture (14,000 BC to 850 BC), and has curated several exhibitions of Japanese archaeology. A Guggenheim Fellow and a member of the Royal Society of Canada, he taught at the University of British Columbia from 1971 to 2000.
This talk is sponsored by the Archaeological Institute of America.

At Work or Looking for Work:
Does Your Age Make a Difference?
|
|
Does age matter in the workplace or when looking for a job? On Wednesday, October 18, at 7:00PM, Discovering What’s Next: ReVitalizing Retirement will present a forum featuring Michael A. Smyer, Ph.D., co- Director of the Center on Aging & Work/Workplace Flexibility.
|
He will address the topic: “Generations @ Work: Age Matters in the Workplace” and moderate a panel of individuals who have faced age-related issues in the workplace or in a job search. We will also hear about employers who are trying to improve multigenerational work environments, and about employers who welcome older workers.
The American workplace has become quite diverse, with individuals over 60 working with Baby Boomers, GenXers and now the Nexters. In many office environments a senior with years of experience could be working in a cubicle alongside a recent college graduate - who might even be the person in charge.
In the job search, both the young and older worker could be competing for the same position. Many believe the younger applicant possesses more advanced technological skills while the older worker is more likely to have better problem solving skills. In more physically active work settings, the younger worker may be preferred for greater physical stamina. The older worker may be perceived to be more reliable. When the situation is handled well, a multigenerational work environment can be a win-win situation for everyone.
This Forum is offered in collaboration with Career Moves of Jewish Vocational Service, which provides guidance and resources for professional-level job seekers and career changers.

Also opening in September is Clare Rojas’ large-scale installation “Hope Springs Eternal” which incorporates painting, installations, film, printmaking, quilting and music in a style influenced by American folk art, particularly quilts, in themes surrounding women and animals in stylized, humorous landscapes.
The permanent collection of the Rose Art Museum numbers more than 8,000 objects and is particularly strong in American art of the 1960s and 70s. Internationally recognized, it includes works by de Kooning, Johns, Lichten-stein, Warhol, Sherman and Motherwell. Two exhibits in 2007 will draw on this vast, eclectic collection.
Rush’s writing on video, film and other media appear regularly in the New York Times, Art in America and other publications. His books include New Media in Art and Video Art.

| Boston Wagner Society Presents Talk on Hans Hotter |
|
The Boston Wagner Society will present Donald Arthur speaking on “Hans Hotter: An Operatic Giant” at the Library on Monday, October 23, at 7:00PM.

The Boston Wagner Society was formed in the fall of 2003 and since has presented numerous speakers and an all-Wagner birthday recital. Visit walhall@bostonwagnersociety.org for more information.
Hotter was renowned throughout Europe for his majestic stage presence, superb acting abilities and intelligent singing. Known particularly for performing the great Wagnerian roles, he was the |
 |
preeminent Wotan (the chief god in the Ring cycle) of the 1950s and 1960s. He also successfully portrayed the Flying Dutchman, Hans Sachs ( Meistersinger), Gurnemanz ( Parsifal) and many characters in Italian opera (sung in German). Hotter was also a superb interpreter of Schubert lieder, known for his subtle artistry. After he quit the stage, he nurtured the careers of numerous singers, among them James Morris, the Metropolitan Opera’s reigning Wotan.
Arthur has had an interesting career, moving from opera to acting, writing scripts for educational radio and TV programs, dubbing voices for film and TV, translating for the Salzburg Festival, ghostwriting opera autobiographies and other creative work. He met Hotter while performing in a Mozart opera at the Aspen Festival many years ago and later settled in Munich and continued his studies with the master.

“Robert Schumann: Myth, Madness and Music”
|
 |
In honor of the 150th anniversary of composer Robert Schumann’s death, British author John Worthen will speak on “Robert Schumann: Myth, Madness and Music,” illustrated with musical recordings, at the Library on Thursday, October 26, at 7:30PM.
Worthen’s forthcoming biography of Schumann will offer a revolutionary new understanding of the composer, who attempted to drown himself in the Rhine and later died in an asylum in 1856. Schumann has always been assumed to have suffered from some form of mental illness, though it has also been accepted that he may have suffered from syphilis. Worthen’s talk will present Schumann as a man and composer who never suffered from mental illness, but was instead the tragic victim of physical illness. The composer emerges, in his account, as a dedicated, quiet, passionate and extremely determined man who overcame tremendous disadvantages to become a major German composer.
|
Worthen is Professor Emeritus of D. H. Lawrence Studies at the University of Nottingham. His biographies include the celebrated D. H. Lawrence: The Early Years 1885-1912, The Gang: Coleridge, the Hutchinsons & the Wordsworths in 1802 and D. H. Lawrence: The Life of an Outsider. Robert Schumann: The Life and Death of a Musician is his first biography of a non-literary figure. He is currently working on biographies of Frieda Lawrence and Henry Marten.
