Revisiting N. C. Wyeth's 'Walden Pond Revisited'

Tuesday, May 10, 2016, 7PM - 8PM

In addition to the illustrations for Men of Concord, N. C. Wyeth created another homage to Henry David Thoreau, Walden Pond Revisited, in 1932/33. Christine Podmaniczky, Consulting Curator for the special exhibition N. C. Wyeth’s Men of Concord, discusses this painting as it relates to canvases Wyeth painted between the late 1920s to the late 1930s, all of which explored the sense of place essential to both the artist and Thoreau.

Christine Podmaniczky is Curator of N. C. Wyeth Collections at the Brandywine River Museum of Art (BRMA) and author of the catalogue raisonné on the artist.

Free and open to the public. Reserve a space online or call 978-369-9763, ext. 216.

Film Screening: Exile and Community: The Life of Carola Domar

Sunday, May 15, 2016, 3PM - 4:30PM

Carola Domar escaped Nazi Germany in her teens and came to the States, where she married and built a new life in Concord, finding true belonging within the unique neighborhood of Conantum. In this documentary film, she and her daughter tell the story of her persistent search for community. Her story of exile and community has particular relevance in the context of current mass migration.

This film screening and discussion with producer Susan Orleans Rieder is presented in conjunction with the special exhibition, Women of Concord, on view from May 13 – September 18, 2016.

Free and open to the public, but reservations are required. Note that this event is close to sold out as of press time. Register online or call 978-369-9763, ext. 216 to reserve a space.
