SUMMARY:LECTURE: Caspar David Friedrich
DESCRIPTION:Caspar David Friedrich: Exemplar of Romantic Painting\nSpeaker: Kevin N. Moll \nHistorians generally use the term “Romanticism” to account for the artistic aspirations reflected in music\, painting\, and literature during the 1800s. Our concert halls still resound with the works of famous Romantic composers—Berlioz\, Mendelssohn\, Schumann\, Liszt\, and Wagner. Well-known Romantic writers include Lord Byron\, Victor Hugo\, George Sand\, and the Brontë sisters. But when it comes to Romantic painting\, most people draw a blank. \nThis talk will focus on one of the most important visual artists of the early 19th century: Caspar David Friedrich (1774–1840). He was arguably the greatest German oil painter of the entire Romantic period — yet hardly anyone in this country knows his name\, and his works are rarely displayed in our museums. Through a slideshow of about 40 of his paintings\, we’ll explore how Friedrich brought the key ideas and feelings of Romanticism to life on canvas. \nThursday\, June 11\, at 7:00pm\nDonation: $10 \nPlease click HERE to register for Caspar David Fredrich: Exemplar of Romantic Painting \nKevin N. Moll is an emeritus professor of Musicology at East Carolina University\, where from 2002 to 2017 he served as director of the multi-disciplinary program in Medieval & Renaissance Studies. Dr. Moll has taught undergraduate and graduate music history courses across all chronological eras of Western Music\, as well as in American music and Jazz. In addition\, he taught a two-semester liberal arts course sequence in Medieval and Early Modern Studies\, as well as a course in film history for ECU’s Honors College. He is currently teaching in an adjunct capacity at New England Conservatory and serves as executive director of the Still River Chamber Music Society. As a performer\, Dr. Moll has been active for many years as double-bassist\, viola da gambist\, choral singer\, and director of various early-music ensembles. \nImage Credit: Caspar David Friedrich\, Two Men Contemplating the Moon\, ca. 1825-30\, Metropolitan Museum of Art.

SUMMARY:Birds! Exhibit Event - Artist Talk with Barry Van Dusen: Out the Studio Window
DESCRIPTION:OUT THE STUDIO WINDOWS\nan illustrated talk by Barry Van Dusen \nMany artists travel widely in search of new subjects\, while others spend their entire artistic lives much closer to home. Andrew Wyeth did all of his work in two small areas of Maine and Pennsylvania\, and Claude Monet spent the last four decades of his life painting the gardens right out his back door. \nNature artist Barry Van Dusen has done his share of traveling\, but he\, too\, continues to find abundant inspiration nearby – many of his paintings feature subjects observed out the windows of his studio in central Massachusetts. \nIn this one-hour illustrated talk\, Barry takes you along in his explorations of nature “Out the Studio Windows”. \nThis program is being offered as part of the Birds! exhibit on view at Fivesparks from April 18 – May 30\, 2026.  \nTo reserve your spot\, please register HERE.  \nThe Birds! curated art exhibit as well as the corresponding bird-related events and programs were planned in partnership with the Boxborough Birders Group.
