The Unknown Monet: Pastels and Drawings at the Clark - September 07, 2007
WILLIAMSTOWN - Claude Monet's works on paper, their historical context and the public and private functions of drawings in the minds of Monet and his contemporaries will be discussed by six leading impressionist scholars on Sunday, Sept. 16, during "Monet and the Impressionist Drawing."
This symposium marks the conclusion of the exhibition "The Unknown Monet: Pastels and Drawings," which closes on Sept. 16. ThE event, held from 10 to 5, is free and open to the public. To register, call 413-458-0524 or visit www.clarkart.edu.
The morning session will include the presentations "Mind and Eye: Degas and Monet" by George T. M. Shackelford, chair of the department of the art of Europe and Solomon curator of modern art, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; "Monet's Sketchbooks Re-Viewed" by John House, Walter H. Annenberg professor, Courtauld Institute of Art, London; "Drawing in Monet, Cézanne, and Seurat: Alienation Three Different Ways" by Richard Shiff, Effie Marie Cain Regents chair in art and director of the Center for the Study of Modernism, University of Texas at Austin.
The afternoon session will include "Did Sisley Draw?" by MaryAnne Stevens, director of academic affairs and senior curator, Royal Academy of Arts, London; "Women on Paper: Mary Cassatt and Impressionist Drawing" by Nancy Mowll Mathews, Eugénie Prendergast senior curator of 19th and 20th century art, Williams College Museum of Art; "Pissarro on Paper: Experiment, Investigation, Preparation" by Richard R.

A reception will follow the event, and gallery hours for the exhibition will be extended until 7 p.m. This will be the last chance for the public to see "The Unknown Monet."
The exhibit, hailed as "marvelous and commendable" by Benjamin Genocchio of The New York Times and "a visual picnic on a summer day" by Williard Spiegelman of the Wall Street Journal, closes on Sunday, Sept. 16. The Clark is the last venue for this exhibition. "The Unknown Monet" includes many fragile and rarely seen works on paper. Several of these pastels and drawings belong to private collectors and might never again be publicly displayed.
"The Unknown Monet" is organized by the Clark in association with the Royal Academy of Arts, London. It is curated by James A. Ganz, Manton curator of prints, drawings and photographs, and Richard Kendall, curator at large, both at the Clark. This exhibition is supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities. The project is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts. Lead sponsorship is provided by Bank of America. Additional support is provided by Faber-Castell.
The Clark is at 225 South St. The galleries are open daily through Sept. 16, 10 to 5 (closed Mondays, Sept. 17 through June 30). Admission through Oct. 31 is $12.50 for adults, free for children 18 and under, members, and students with valid ID. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit www.clarkart.edu |
