With works by 52 of the 20th century’s most influential artists, this exhibit illuminates the artistic transformations that took place in the U.S. during the first half of the century while also exploring Roy R. Neuberger’s significant role as a collector of and advocate for the contemporary art of his time.

Financier Roy R. Neuberger (1903–2010), one of the 20th century’s foremost collectors, built a groundbreaking collection of American modern art, the full impact of which is only now being assessed.

Neuberger acquired work by a remarkable selection of modern masters including Alexander Calder, Stuart Davis, Willem de Kooning, Marsden Hartley, Jacob Lawrence, Georgia O’Keeffe, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and numerous others. Neuberger said of himself, “I have not collected art as an investor would, I collect art because I love it.”

His works include “The Savior Generals,” “The Western Way of War,” “The End of Sparta,” “Carnage and Culture,” and the forthcoming “The Second World Wars." Hanson has received the National Humanities Medal, the Bradley Prize and the Eric Breindel award for excellence in opinion journalism.

Adam Gopnik is known for speaking with singular wit, eloquence, and insight on modern life and culture. He has been at The New Yorker since 1986 where he was the art critic and Paris correspondent. A writer of exceeding breadth, he has tackled subjects such as the influence of Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin in modern times and exploring the role of food in literature. His collection of essays, “Paris To the Moon,” was hailed by The New York Times as “the finest book on France in recent years.” Gopnik has three National Magazine Awards for essays and for criticism.

Beloved actor Jim Carter is best known as the stern yet lovable head butler, Mr. Carson, on the hit Masterpiece show “Downton Abbey.” Even before “Downton,” Jim Carter was a familiar face on British TV, thanks to his many credits including “The Singing Detective" and “Shakespeare in Love.” Carter will discuss “Downton Abbey’s” unexpected popularity that has sparked a fanatical interest in British culture and history. It was the most popular drama in PBS history, winning three Golden Globes and 11 Emmys.

Marlene Strauss, “Isabella Stewart Gardner: Her Collection and Museum”

A.O. Scott, “In Defense of Criticism”

Tuesday, February 28, 2017 3 p.m.

Tuesday, March 7, 2017 As chief film critic for The New York Times, Anthony Oliver Scott has earned a welldeserved reputation for his keen observations, sharp wit and rigorous analysis. Few could explain, let alone seek out, a career in criticism, yet A.O. Scott will discuss how we are, in fact, all critics: because critical thinking informs almost every aspect of artistic creation, of civil action, of interpersonal life.

In his latest book “Better Living Through Criticism” he shows that while individual critics—himself included—can make mistakes, criticism as a discipline is one of the noblest, most creative, and urgent activities of modern existence.

Don Giovanni

L’Amour de Loin

Saturday, November 19, 2016 at 1 p.m.

Estimated run time: 3 hours 45 minutes One intermission

Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho’s breakthrough opera was described by the New York Times as “transfixing…a lushly beautiful score.” Commissioned by the Salzburg Festival, where it was first seen in 2000, it will now finally have its Metropolitan Opera premiere in a dazzling new production by Robert Lepage, featuring glimmering ribbons of LED lights that extend across the length of the stage and over the orchestra pit. Eric Owens is the knight on a quest of love and Susanna Phillips is his lover on the other side of the sea. Conductor Susanna Mälkki makes her Met debut.

Three charismatic singers, Simon Keenlyside, Ildar Abdrazakov and Mariusz Kwiecien share the role of the title hero, who goes to hell in a dazzling coup de théâtre. The ensemble of great Mozartean singers includes Isabel Leonard, Angela Meade and Matthew Polenzani; Plácido Domingo conducts.

Enjoy Mozart's operatic retelling of the Don Juan myth from a point of view that is neither tragic nor entirely comic, but rather lighthearted, urbane, and ironic.

Estimated run time: 3 hours 5 minutes One intermission In this stunning new production Plácido Domingo brings another new baritone role to the Met under the baton of his longtime collaborator James Levine.

Liudmyla Monastyrska is Abigaille, the warrior woman determined to rule empires, and Jamie Barton is the heroic Fenena. Dmitri Belosselskiy is the stentorian voice of the oppressed Hebrew people.

WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART

The Magic Flute (previously recorded)

Saturday December, 17, 2016 at 12 p.m.

Estimated run time: 1 hour 55 minutes No intermission

Solera’s libretto takes some liberties with biblical history, and the characters other than the title role are dramatic inventions. But the story as a whole stays close to events as they are related in Jewish scriptures: primarily Jeremiah, as well as 2 Kings, 2 Chronicles, Daniel, and the Psalms.

Mack the Knife is back in town. London scrubs up for the coronation. The thieves are on the make, the whores on the pull, the police cutting deals to keep it all out of sight. Mr. and Mrs. Peachum are looking forward to a bumper day in the beggary business, but their daughter didn’t come home last night and it’s all about to kick off…This bold, anarchic production is adapted by Simon Stephens, ("The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time"), and directed by Rufus Norris, ("Everyman").

In 1782, Choderlos de Laclos’ novel of sex, intrigue and betrayal in pre-revolutionary France scandalized the world. Former lovers, the Marquise de Merteuil and Vicomte de Valmont now compete in games of seduction and revenge. Merteuil incites Valmont to corrupt the innocent Cecile de Volanges before her wedding night, but Valmont has targeted the peerlessly virtuous and beautiful Madame de Tourvel. While these merciless aristocrats toy with others’ hearts and reputations, their own may prove more fragile than they supposed.

Renoir is one of the most fiercely debated artists and yet one of the most influential. Picasso collected more Renoirs than any other artist. Monet and Matisse revered him. He was instrumental in creating the Impressionist movement and then totally rejected it and went in a new direction - with extraordinary results. Discover the incredible story of this remarkable artist.

Monet was an avid horticulturist and arguably the most important painter of gardens in the history of art, but he was not alone.

Artists like Van Gogh, Bonnard, Pissarro and Matisse all saw the garden as a powerful subject for their art. These great artists, along with many other famous names, are featured in an innovative exhibition from The Cleveland Museum of Art and The Royal Academy, London.

Facilitator: Richard Bock

Facilitator: Billy David

From Pulitzer Prize-winning author David Hoffman comes the riveting story of a spy who cracked open the Soviet military research establishment and a penetrating portrait of the CIA’s Moscow station, an outpost of daring espionage in the last years of the Cold War. His revelations allowed America to reshape its weapons systems to defeat Soviet radar on the ground and in the air, giving the U.S. near total superiority in the skies over Europe.

Tom Wolfe’s fourth book contains the article “These Radical Chic Evenings,” first published in June 1970 in New York magazine, about a gathering Leonard Bernstein held for the Black Panther Party. Among the beautiful people present was Tom Wolfe, pop sociologist and parajournalist supreme. Billy David will discuss this article and touch on his own life as a magazine publisher in the 70s, 80s and 90s.

In 1947 Dalton Trumbo (“Spartacus” “Papillon”) was one of Hollywood’s top screenwriters, until he and other artists – known as the “Hollywood Ten”– were blacklisted and jailed for their political beliefs. By using his wit and words he exposed the absurdity of the blacklist and eventually saw his name on screen again. This intriguing biography shows that all his life Trumbo was a radical of the homegrown, independent variety.

Facilitator: Billy David Helen Castor tells a fresh and gripping story of the peasant girl from Domremy who hears voices from God, leads the French army to victory, is burned at the stake for heresy, and eventually becomes a saint.

It was a finalist for the 2015 National Book Award, and named a best book of the year by The Washington Post and NPR.

“Rasputin’s Murder in 1916: One of the Greatest Mysteries of WWI,” with James Pool Monday, January 9, 2017 at 6 p.m. $10 No charge for Four Arts members At the height of World War I Grigori Rasputin was brutally murdered in St. Petersburg. Born a peasant who James Pool failed at being a monk, Rasputin gained Czar Nicholas II’s confidence by “curing” his son of hemophilia. Later, a group of conspirators, including the Czar’s first cousin, Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich (who was the father of former Palm Beach mayor Paul Ilyinsky), fed Rasputin wine and cakes laced with cyanide. When the poison seemed to have no effect, the conspirators shot Rasputin multiple times and threw him into the freezing Neva River.

With the 100th anniversary of his death in 1916, we'll ask why was this close confidant of the royal family killed? It was claimed that he was an immoral heretic and a German agent, but the truth was a very different story.

“Irrepressible: The Jazz-Age Life of Henrietta Bingham” with Emily Bingham Thursday, March 23, 2017 at 2:30 p.m.

$10; no charge for Four Arts members • Book signing to follow Richard D’Elia

“Winston Churchill: American Hero,” with Richard D’Elia and Lee Pollack Monday, March 20, 2017 at 6 p.m. $10; no charge for Four Arts members When a young Churchill visited New York in 1895 he reported that “a great, crude, strong, young people are the Americans.” His visit wasn’t accidental – his mother was wealthy Brooklynite who married into the British aristocracy, and the family connection started a lifelong relationship with America. Even his bust in the U.S. Capitol rotunda proclaims him a “Statesman, Honorary U.S. Citizen, Defender of Freedom.” Learn more about Churchill and how he really is an American Hero.

Raised like a princess in one of the South’s most powerful families, Henrietta Bingham was offered the helm of a publishing Emily empire. Instead she ripped Bingham through the Jazz Age like an F. Scott Fitzgerald character and became the relative no one wanted to talk about. That is, until her great-niece discovered trunks filled with nearly 200 love letters, a first edition of Virginia Woolf’s “The Years” and a court ensemble once owned by the 1930s shorts-wearing rebel tennis star Helen Jacobs.

This irresistible lecture and slide presentation examines the life of the Harlem-loving jazz baby who shattered taboos while seducing some of the most fascinating figures of her time. Author Emily Bingham is the great-niece of Henrietta Bingham, and was born in Louisville, Kentucky into a journalism family.

No charge

“Governor James and General John Sullivan: Outstanding Men of the Revolution and Early Republic, Descendants of Historic Irish leaders,” with Murray Forbes III Monday, April 3, 2017 at 2:30 p.m.

Many people see Queen Elizabeth II as merely a figurehead and a wonderful part of “Jolly Old England,” but she is much more. England has known monarchy almost continuously for well over 1,000 years, and the Queen retains great constitutional powers.

She even has her own spy in Parliament! The possession of such power by a constitutional monarch prevents England, with only one elected House in Parliament, from becoming an elected dictatorship.

A former conservative member of Parliament, graduate of the Harvard Business School, economist, and investment commentator, John Browne is currently a senior market strategist for Euro Pacific Capital, Inc. and lectures at Lynn University.

$10; no charge for Four Arts members Discover the fascinating Sullivans and their remarkable careers during the American Revolution and early republic. Learn how their family’s resistance in Ireland’s earlier invasion greatly influenced their ability to rally the Irish community to support the American Revolution. Murray Forbes will shed light on unexpected realities of the time and virtually unknown facts about the Irish contribution to America.

Forbes holds a B.A. in Russian History and Literature, and an M.F.A in painting. He served in Army intelligence, and oversees the Navigator Foundation, which has found and brought underappreciated art from Eastern and Central Europe to the Boston public. This lecture is presented in relation to "The Founders and Us" series.

Drawing Class

January 13, 20, 27 Fridays from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. $275 for three classes or $100 per class Drawing is the indispensable foundation of visual art. One looks, sees and internalizes the inner and outer world, and then records the experience with line, shape, form, space and value. This class will explain and explore the many possibilities of that self expression: the process of discovering a new way to truly see and consider the world around us through the humble magic of drawing. Students may bring their choice of materials for drawing. This class is for all experience levels.

Painting Class

January 9, 11, 16, 18, 23, 25 Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. $450 for six classes or $85 per class These informal mixed-level classes help students develop their own artistic style and progress as artists using their choice of materials. Under the guidance of Mr. Shundi you’ll learn new ways of thinking about art, not the least of which is learning how to SEE, and not just LOOK. As Shundi explains, “Students come in with their own spark, and I teach them how to make their own fire. I help people do what stimulates them, and accompany them on a journey of self-discovery, focusing on their subjective interests.” Through demonstrations and hands-on exploration, participants learn composition, color, line, shape, form, time, space, atmosphere, and rhythm. Break out of your comfort zone or hone your advanced skills during this true Artistin-Residence experience. This class is for all experience levels.

Peter Cottontail Day and Egg Hunt with author, Robert L. Forbes Thursday, April 13, 2017

Here comes Peter Cottontail! Join children’s author Robert L. Forbes as he shares select poems featuring spring animals. Afterwards, children 4 years of age and younger are invited on an Egg Hunt in the Philip Hulitar Sculpture Garden. Be sure to bring a basket for eggs! As in previous years, due to the popularity of this event, preschoolers will be instructed on the maximum number of eggs they may collect. Please remember this program is a "preschool" event and the “egg limit” allows all attendees (walkers, runners, crawlers and our littlest babies) to participate in the program. Following the egg hunt, preschoolers will have the opportunity to visit with Mr. Forbes, as well as purchase signed copies of his books. The Children’s Library would like to express their gratitude to Boy Scout Troop 141 and troop leader Mr. Ray Kramer for hiding the eggs. There will be no arts and crafts activity on this day.
