Englewood Public Library

This illustrated lecture, presented in celebration of&nbsp;America250, traces the artistic career of Gilbert Stuart (1755–1828), one of the most influential portrait painters in American history.&nbsp;
Over the course of his lifetime, Stuart produced more than 1,000 portraits while working in eight cities: Newport, Rhode Island; Edinburgh; London; Dublin; New York; Philadelphia; Washington, D.C.; and Boston.
Celebrated for the striking accuracy of his likenesses, Stuart painted many of the most prominent Americans of his era, including several presidents. One of his portraits of George Washington famously served as the model for the image on today’s one-dollar bill. Known as a charming conversationalist who drew out his sitters’ personalities—though not every story he told was strictly true—and at times famously irascible, Stuart nonetheless emerged as the preeminent artistic authority in early America.
The lecture will highlight works from the tristate region, which will take pride of place in the presentation. The talk will be delivered by art historian Michael Norris.
Michael Norris earned his BA in Classics from the University of California, San Diego, followed by an MA in Classics and a PhD in Art History from the University of California, Santa Barbara. He spent twenty years at The Cloisters Museum and The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and has lectured widely at libraries, schools, retirement communities, and clubs, with many talks tailored especially for New Jersey audiences.
This program is sponsored by The Friends of the Englewood Library.

A musical journey exploring Japan’s heritage through the koto, shamisen, and beyond.
A master of the traditional Japanese horizontal harp or zither, the koto, Masayo Ishigure will bring the talent that led to her playing on a Grammy Award-winning soundtrack by famed composer John Williams ("Memoirs of a Geisha") Masayo will be performing with an additional koto player and one shamisen player. For the final piece, they would like all attendees to join in the music by singing and clapping along. A 10-minute trial will also be possible. In order to complete the performance within one hour, the performance will be approximately 45 minutes, followed by a 15-minute Q&amp;A and trial, for a total of one hour. All 3 players &nbsp;will be wearing kimonos, a traditional Japanese costume.
All ages are invited to a captivating experience of traditional Japanese music, accompanied by dance, tea ceremony, kimono culture, and time-honored crafts. Through these rich cultural elements, you will feel as if you are journeying through Japan itself.
This event is sponsored by The Friends of the Englewood Library.
Masayo Ishigure is a New York based&nbsp;Koto&nbsp;and&nbsp;Shamisen&nbsp;Player. She began playing the koto and jiuta shamisen at the age of five in Gifu, Japan and has created an extensive multi-faceted career that continues to stretch the limits of the koto while maintaining a strong grasp of the tradition. After initial studies with Tadao and Kazue Sawai, Masayo became a special research student in 1986 at the Sawai Koto Academy of Music. The academy incorporates many influences from classical to jazz and aims to change the perception of the koto from solely as a traditional Japanese instrument to an instrument of universal expressiveness.
