Don’t Miss Bouguereau’s ‘Fancies’ Don’t miss the opportunity to see the Winter Exhibition Bouguereau’s ‘Fancies‘: Allegorical and Mythological Works by the French Master, on view through April 19th. This exhibition features nineteen mythological and allegorical paintings and drawings spanning William -Adolphe Bougeureau’s entire career. The exhibition also includes period reproductions of his works in print, porcelain, marble, and bronze.
William-Adolphe Bouguereau, Jeune fille se dèfendant contre l’Amour [Young Girl Defending Herself Against Eros], oil on canvas, 1880. The University of North Carolina at Wilmington.
French academic painter WilliamAdolphe Bouguereau (1825 - 1905) is widely admired for his delicate figure studies that capture even the most subtle human emotions. Immensely popular in both Europe and America during his lifetime, Bouguereau became one of the most prolific and influential artists of the nineteenth century, and is today widely recognized as one of the world’s great painters.
Bouguereau’s works embody values such as equality, charity, and respect for the humanity and dignity of mankind. Some of his most popular works depict noble peasants, particularly young women and children. His paintings are more than just exacting figure studies however; Bouguereau sought to convey intense emotion and meaning through his figures. The exhibition is sponsored by Northern Trust, The Mosaic Foundation (of R. & P. Heydon), Thomas S. Kenan III, The Eliasberg Family Foundation, the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs and the Florida Council on Arts and Culture, the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County, Tourist Development Council, Board of County Commissioners, VISIT FLORIDA and The Palm Beach Post.

2015 Music Series
2015 Music Series Lead Sponsor, Roe Green, with members of the Fine Arts Quartet. The Flagler Museum Music Series concluded its 16th Season on March 3rd. The concerts by five award-winning chamber groups each sold out this Season.
wins over the Flagler Museum ... moving the piece along at a ferocious speed. These lively tunes were over all too quickly.“
“One of the finest chamber music venues in South Florida”
Of the Fine Arts Quartet, Marcio Bezerra of the Palm Beach Daily News observed, “Another highlight was the pacing of the last movement, which ended the evening in such an exciting note that the audience gave the Fine Arts Quartet four curtain calls.“
The Parker Quartet dazzled the Flagler Museum as they opened this year’s Season. “Running out of superlatives to describe the Parker Quartet is a hazard music critics must face after hearing their excellent performances.” wrote Rex Hearn of the Palm Beach ArtsPaper. Ken Keaton of the Palm Beach Daily News said, “The performance of the Aspen Trio was a rare event. From the first note, the sound of each player was simply glorious. Surely, the superb acoustics were a factor, but even the greatest can’t create such sublime beauty where it doesn’t originally exist.” About the third concert of the Series, Rex Hearn wrote in the Palm Beach ArtsPaper, “The youthful Calidore Quartet
The Auryn Quartet, together for three decades, continued to bring a fresh and pioneering approach to all genres of music. “...The German-based ensemble gave the best performance of this year’s series, thanks to its superior sound and unmannered musicianship.“- Márcio Bezerra, Palm Beach Daily News. Rex Hearn of the Palm Beach ArtsPaper states “The Flagler is becoming known as one of the finest chamber music venues in South Florida...”

Bal Poudré 2015
Henry and Mary Lily Flagler hosted the first great party in Palm Beach, a Bal Poudré in 1903, which was described in the press of the day as “one of the most sumptuous social affairs ever attempted south of Washington.“ On February 21st, the Whitehall Society hosted its biennial Bal Poudré, to raise funds in support of the Museum’s children’s education programming. Special thanks to Chairwomen Annette Rickel, Susan Cushing and Mary Beth Jagger. Upon arrival, following a cocktail reception in the Museum’s Grand Hall, guests enjoyed a lavish threecourse meal in the Grand Ballroom, where the first Bal Poudré took place 112 years before. A special video showcased the Museum’s many children’s education programs, which educate each generation about history, the arts and architecture. The night culminated in the West Room and the Flagler Kenan Pavilion, where Soirée Poudré guests enjoyed live entertainment and dancing. Guests were invited to dress in extravagant costumes and powdered wigs at the Soirée Poudré. The Soirée Poudré was furnished with an enormous game of chess, silhouette artists and a photography area equipped with fun props. Guests had the opportunity to take humorous and unique photos to create lasting memories of this exclusive event.

Championing Golf in Palm Beach Henry Flagler’s Florida East Coast Railway Company and Hotel Company changed the face of the state, but Flagler did much more than build railways and hotels in order to improve Florida. Flagler realized that luring visitors to the state would require not only stateof-the-art transportation and hotels, but also modern entertainment and activities. Sun bathing, fishing, biking, sailing, shooting, and golfing were among the various physical pursuits that could be enjoyed at FEC hotels. Golf was a relatively young sport in America then, the oldest courses in the country date to the 1880s. While Flagler himself was not a golfer, his son, Henry Harkness Flagler, was. Recognizing the growing popularity of the sport, Henry Flagler, Sr. hired renowned golf course designer Alexander H. Findlay, considered the Father of American Golf, to oversee the planning, construction, and operation of courses in St. Augustine, Palm Beach, Miami, and Nassau, Bahamas. The Palm Beach Golf Club, Florida’s oldest 18-hole golf course and the first course in Palm Beach, was designed by Findlay in 1897 for use of the guests of the Breakers Hotel and the Hotel Royal Poinciana. Located immediately to the east of Whitehall, this property is now operated by The Breakers hotel as the Ocean Course. Originally 5,400 yards with sand greens, the course now encompasses 6,167 yards and was recently restored to a more vintage design. The Palm Beach Golf Club was immediately popular, with more than 200 spectators watching a match in 1902. Golf fever continued off the course as well - that same year Mr. and Mrs. Flagler attended a Golf Ball held at the Breakers Hotel. Unlike other sports of the time, golf was not limited to men, and women frequently participated. A Women’s Championship tournament was held at the Palm Beach Golf Club as early as 1908, and by 1917 the Championship was an annual event. One of the first winners of the Championship
was Bessie Fenn, the daughter of Palm Beach Golf Club’s Golfmaster Arthur Fenn, who would go on to manage the course herself from 1925 to 1959. Winners of the Palm Beach Golf Club’s Women’s Championship were awarded the Mrs. Flagler Trophy, named in honor of Mary Lily Flagler, who personally presented the prize in 1917. The Flagler Museum recently acquired a Mrs. Flagler Trophy, a sterling silver bowl with a leaf and berries design around the base. The trophy, which was presented to an unidentified champion, is engraved with “THE MRS. FLAGLER TROPHY” on one side, and “PALM BEACH GOLF CLUB / CHAMPIONSHIP OF PALM BEACH / WOMEN’S GOLF” on the other. The Women’s Championship and the presentation of the Mrs. Flagler Trophy continued into the late 1950s, on a course that remains today one of the most popular in the country.

The Evolution of Whitehall’s Grounds This summer the Flagler Museum will replace the driveway inside Whitehall’s elaborate fence. During the past 114 years, the grounds at Whitehall have evolved to accommodate the way the property was used. Commissioned by Henry Flagler in 1901 as a wedding present for his bride, Mary Lily Kenan Flagler, Whitehall’s final design by the architects John Carrère and Thomas Hastings incorporated no formal gardens. As Barr Ferree, author of American Estates and Gardens, noted in his 1904 book, in Palm Beach “… one does not need elaborately planned and cultivated gardens to set off one’s house. Plants and flowers, trees and shrubs, grow here unaided and with rare Southern profuseness and rapidity.”
by the Hotel Royal Poinciana’s beautifully landscaped gardens to the north, and the hotel’s Coconut Grove to the east, both of which served as backdrops to various garden parties, teas, and oyster roasts over the years.
Letters between Flagler and his head landscape architect, William Fremd, reveal that Whitehall’s landscaping consisted only of coconut palms, hibiscus, ferns, violets, and roses, among other vegetation, though Mrs. Flagler briefly experimented with a rose garden, located on the west side of the house, and a vegetable garden. The original iron fence still delineates Whitehall’s property line, and while the grounds within the fence might seem today to be rather small and simply landscaped for a home of this size, it is important to remember that the property was surrounded
More changes were made when the property became the Whitehall Hotel in 1925, including the addition of a circular drive on the north side of the building, providing access to a newly created entrance and check-in desk off the Dining Room. To the east of Whitehall a grassy median was created to divide the wide front walk, and a large semicircular drive was created on the front lawn. In the later years of the Hotel a pool was built on the South Lawn, close to where the Flagler Kenan Pavilion is now located.
After the Flaglers settled into Whitehall they continued to make changes to the grounds. The January 22, 1903, Palm Beach Daily News made note of a “fine asphalt tennis court, which is in course of construction on the North side of the house.” A laundry building was also added in 1903 just west of the tennis court, at the northwest corner of the property. Neither of these facilities survived the Hotel period.
Since the property opened as a museum in 1960, Whitehall’s grounds have been maintained with an eye toward Flagler’s era. The grounds are planted with more than twenty-three different types of plants, many of which were utilized in the Flagler era by William Fremd. In November of 2000, plant identification signs were installed on grounds to enhance the visitor experience. This summer’s project will upgrade the appearance of the approach to Whitehall. The circular driveways to the east and north of the building, installed during the Hotel era, will be replaced with French Gray stamped concrete, in a custom large Jerusalem stone pattern, and new curbing will be installed. The shape of the driveways will be adjusted to provide symmetry and incorporate more graceful curves and radii. The concrete will be extra thick in some areas to accommodate the large trucks and equipment occasionally required for maintenance of the property. A new drainage system will also be installed. In addition, the walkway from the Main Gate to the Front Portico will be returned to its original continuous form, from the Gate to the Portico stairs. Though the requirements of a National Historic Landmark open to the public year-round make removal of the driveways to restore the grounds to their original configuration impractical, the replacement of the of the old tarmac drive with a surface more appropriate in quality, and the adjustments to create a more symmetrical and graceful layout, will be a welcome and much needed upgrade to the appearance and functionality of the Museum’s grounds.

Palm Beach Day Academy visits Flagler Museum When a group of second-graders from Palm Beach Day Academy, the oldest independent school in Florida, visited Whitehall, now a National Historic landmark and museum, they had something to say, too. “This place is bigger than the President’s house,” one student remarked. The students, who are among the more than 80,000 visitors who roam the halls of the Beaux Arts beauty each year, wondered at the massive marble columns, gasped at the grand double staircase and took selfies in Flagler’s private railcar. Railcar No. 91, built in 1886, no longer runs along the tracks built by Flagler, the founder of Standard Oil and the Florida East Coast Railway. Today it is housed in a sun-filled glass addition to the museum known as the Flagler Kenan Pavilion. With the historically accurate restoration of its interior and exterior, the railcar looks ready to whisk Flagler and his guests along the OverSea Railroad to the Florida Keys.
When the Palm Beach Day Academy students were asked how Flagler may have passed the time on a long railroad journey, one suggested that he may have listened to the radio. While it was equipped with every luxury available to the turn-of-the-last century traveler, Railcar No. 91 did not have a radio. If it did, another student was quite sure that Flagler’s program of choice would have been “Bloomberg.” A short video shows the second-graders journey through history and culture as they tour Whitehall and Railcar 91.

Museum Awarded Multiple Grants The Flagler Museum was recently awarded several generous grants that will significantly impact its ability to preserve and interpret its collections as well as provide educational and cultural programming. A grant from The Fortin Foundation of Florida will make it possible for the Museum to begin renovation of its third floor furniture collections storage, including installation of dry wall and new flooring. Additionally, the Museum has been awarded its fourth Preservation Assistance Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. This grant will fund the installation of upgraded window film in five of Whitehall’s historic first floor rooms, greatly improving light filtration so that the Museum’s historic interiors and collections will be better protected from South Florida’s intense sunlight. The Eliasberg Family Foundation also provided a grant to support the highly popular Winter 2015 Special Exhibition, Bouguereau’s ‘Fancies’: Allegorical and Mythological Works by the French Master. Education programs will benefit from the generosity of several foundations: the Sharkey Family Charitable Foundation will support community outreach, the Early
Learning Program, and Grandparents Day; a grant from the Eric Friedheim Foundation will fund in-school presentations of Kidnapped in Key West for hundreds of local students; and a grant from the Daphne Seybolt Culpeper Memorial Foundation has provided support for the Intergenerational Mentor Program for Art, Culture and Technology (IMPACT), making it possible for fourth graders from the U.B. Kinsey/Palmview Elementary School to take part in this exciting program.

Valentines Day at the Café des Beaux Arts
Valentines Day at the Café des Beaux Arts is a memorable way to spend the afternoon with that special someone. Dozens of couples enjoyed a special Gilded Age style Tea-for-Two in the picturesque Flagler Kenan Pavilion. The package also included a Valentines Day rose, keepsake photograph, small box
of Whitehall Gourmet Chocolates, and a $15 gift card to the Museum Store. Henry Flagler built this BeauxArts mansion as a wedding present for his wife Mary Lily in 1902. Whitehall has been one of America’s most romantic destinations for more than 100 years.
Balsam Range
Bluegrass in the Pavilion Saturday, April 11, 2015 3:00 p.m. (Doors open at 2:30 p.m.) Tickets $35 The 10th Annual Bluegrass in the Pavillion concert will bring the best Bluegrass musicians to South Florida. Artists for the 2015 performance are Balsam Range and The Grascals.
Balsam Range is made up of five outstanding acoustic musicians and singers from Haywood County, North Carolina. With five IBMA Awards and nominations, 2013 IBMA Album of the Year winner for “Papertown“, 2011 IBMA Album of the Year nominee for “Trains I Missed“, and 2010 IBMA Emerging Artist of the Year nominee, Balsam Range is sure to entertain. Fusing elements of jazz, country, gospel, swing and oldtime music is what gives this Southern band a unique sound. “Over the past few years, North Carolina’s Balsam Range has established itself as one of the most consistent hit-producing and award-winning bands in Bluegrass music.” - Bluegrass Today.
The Grascals The Grascals have forged a bond at the intersection of personal friendships, shared professional resumes, and an appreciation for the innovative mingling of Bluegrass and country music that has been a hallmark of the Nashville scene for more than forty years. Their cutting-edge modern Bluegrass is delivered with a deep knowledge of, and admiration for, the work of the genre’s founding fathers. Timely yet timeless, The Grascals make music that is relevant in the present day. “The harmony of Jamie Johnson, Terry Eldredge, and Terry Smith is well worth the price of admission alone. However, throw in the talents of Kristin Scott Benson on
the banjo, Danny Roberts on the mandolin, and Jeremy Abshire on the fiddle, you have a group that plays with synergy and such heart that will amaze you and astound you.” reviewed by Music News Nashville. All Proceeds from the concert benefit the South Arts’ ArtsReady emergency planning program.
