ost chairs encountered throughout the day define themselves fairly simply — a place at the family table, a comfortable spot with a great view of the river, a seat of corporate power. When looking at the 43 chairs selected for “The Art of Seating: 200 Years of American Design,” however, there is much more to see than simple pieces of furniture. These works of art have compelling stories to tell about American history, the evolution of American design, and incredible artistry and craftsmanship. "The Art of Seating" provides audiences with a unique opportunity to see chair types that usually reside in private homes, withheld from public display. The American Chair Collection, the center of this exhibition, is an amazing and comprehensive private collection of iconic and historic chairs reaching back from the mid-1800s to pieces from today’s studio movement. The exhibition provides an opportunity to see readily recognizable pieces alongside those rarely seen by the public. Selections from the Thomas H. and Diane DeMell Jacobsen Ph.D. Foundation offer a stylistic journey in furniture with showstoppers by John Henry Belter, George Hunzinger, the Herter Brothers, the Stickley Brothers, Frank Lloyd Wright, Charles and Ray Eames, Eero Saarinen, Isamu Noguchi, Frank Gehry, and others waiting to be discovered. The exhibition also features contemporary and historic designs by some of the country's biggest manufacturers such as Knoll, Herman Miller, and Steelcase. 4

rowing out of President George W. Bush’s personal commitment and the ongoing work of the Bush Institute’s Military Service Initiative, “Portraits of Courage: A Commander in Chief’s Tribute to America’s Warriors” brings together 66 full-color portraits and a four-panel mural painted by President Bush of members of the United States military who have served our nation with honor since 9/11, and whom he has come to know personally since leaving office. Each featured painting is accompanied by the inspiring story of the warrior depicted, written by President Bush. As the stories unfold, readers and visitors will encounter the faces and the hearts of those who answered the nation’s call and learn of their bravery on the battlefield, their journey to recovery, and the continued leadership and contribution they make as civilians. In addition to the collection of portraits, the exhibit includes information and resources created by the Bush Institute’s Military Service Initiative that visitors can use to learn how to better support post-9/11 warriors in their communities. These resources are intended to help bridge the military-civilian divide.

Christopher Plummer is known as one of the finest stage performers of his generation, winning two Tony awards for Best Leading Actor. He also has starred in a host of movies, most memorably playing Baron Von Trapp in “The Sound of Music” (1965). Equally capable of channeling good nature or villainy as required by the script, Plummer is able to straddle starring and character roles. The octogenarian recently won his first Oscar in a supporting role for “Beginners” (2010), and was nominated for an Oscar and Golden Globe for his supporting performance in “All the Money in the World” (2017).
Ben Stein is one of the most famous economics teachers in America, and his film and television credits have made him a household name. In real life, Stein is a powerful speaker on economics, politics, education, and history, and is considered one of the great humorists on political economy and how life works. Stein is a graduate of Yale Law School (1970). He has been a poverty lawyer, speech writer for Presidents Nixon and Ford, columnist for The Wall Street Journal, and a teacher of law and economics. He has written or cowritten roughly 30 books, many of them New York Times best-sellers.
The Atlantic magazine has identified Jonah Goldberg as one of the top 50 political commentators in America. He writes on politics, media, and culture for a wide variety of publications, including a weekly column for the Los Angeles Times. He is a member of the board of contributors to USA Today, and a regular member of the “Fox News All-Stars” on “Special Report with Bret Baier.” He is also the author of the New York Times best-seller “Suicide of the West” (Crown Forum, 2018), as well as two previous New York Times best-sellers. Goldberg is a Fellow at the National Review Institute.

Tuesday, March 19, 2019 at 3 p.m.
Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Richard Russo will discuss “The Destiny Thief,” his first collection of personal essays, which give deep insight into the creative process of one of the nation’s greatest writers. Russo is author of eight novels, including the best-selling “Everybody’s Fool” and “That Old Cape Magic.” In 2002 he received the Pulitzer Prize for “Empire Falls,” which like “Nobody’s Fool” was adapted to film, in a multiple-award-winning HBO miniseries; in 2016 he was given the Indie Champion Award by the American Booksellers Association; and in 2017 he received France’s Grand Prix de Littérature Américaine.
Dr. Henry Kissinger, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize and legendary foreign policy advisor, is currently President and Chairman of Kissinger and Associates, and former National Security Advisor and Secretary of State to Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. According to Dr. Kissinger, "The most difficult yet important question about the world into which we are headed is this: What will become of human consciousness if its own explanatory power is surpassed by Artificial Intelligence, and societies are no longer able to interpret the world they inhabit in terms that are meaningful to them?” Dr. Kissinger warns if we do not develop a national vision soon, we may discover that we started too late.

Marlene Strauss
“Madame Helena Rubinstein: Cosmetic Empress, Collector Extraordinaire” Tuesday, March 26, 2019 at 3 p.m.
Born a poor girl in Krakow, Poland, Helena Rubinstein became the chieftain of a beauty empire – collecting art along the way. She would mix her huge collection of African art with her Matisses, Chagalls, Renoirs, Modiglianis, Salvador Dalís, and many others. Her beauty salons were also miniart museums. Marlene Strauss, Ph.D., explores this captivating woman who was not a beauty queen, but believed that wellgroomed women were more selfassured and more successful. Strauss lectures annually at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the 21st Century Club in Cleveland, and other organizations throughout the U.S.

Together, they absorb the passing seasons, just like the weathered wooden structure of the salon “home” that they share. Watch the beloved film adaptation on March 8th. See page 34 for details.

From Schubert to Strauss, Bach to Brahms, Mozart to … Billy Joel, Itzhak Perlman’s violin playing transcends mere performance to evoke the celebrations and struggles of real life; “praying with the violin,” says renowned Tel Aviv violinmaker Amnon Weinstein. Alison Chernick’s enchanting documentary looks beyond the sublime musician to see the polio survivor whose parents emigrated from Poland to Israel, and the young man who struggled to be taken seriously as a music student when schools saw only his disability. Itzhak himself is funny, irreverent, and self-deprecating, and here his life story unspools in conversations with masterful musicians, family and friends, and most endearingly his devoted wife of 50 years.

Tuesday, November 6, 2018 at 5:30 p.m. Dixon Education Building Facilitator: Billy David
In the 1930s no one would have predicted that by the end of the 20th century, Winston Churchill and George Orwell would be considered two of the most important people in British history. In crucial moments, they responded first by seeking the facts, seeing through the lies and obfuscations, and then acting on their beliefs. Together, to an extent not sufficiently appreciated, they kept freedom as the focus for the West.

At the age of 36, Sir Mark Sykes was signatory to the SykesPicot agreement of 1916, one of the most reviled treaties of modern times because it drew Middle East political lines but ignored the interests of the region.

Back by popular demand following a sold-out presentation last season! Florida has a history as diverse as its residents. Since the arrival of the Spanish in 1513, the state has played host to strange stories. A heartbroken senator entered a mental institution over unrequited love for an heiress. And the true, darker story of Pocahontas is linked with the “first barbecue.” James C. Clark unearths a history hidden beneath swamps and sand for years.

Alexander Newley A leading contemporary portrait artist and teacher, Alexander Newley is known on both sides of the Atlantic for his iconic portrait paintings of major figures in the arts, including Gore Vidal, Billy Wilder, Christopher Reeve, Oliver Stone, and Steven Berkoff. His portrait of America's infamous polemicist and wit, Vidal, and his dramatic tripleportrait of actor, activist, and former star of "Superman," Christopher Reeve, form part of the permanent collection of The National Portrait Gallery at The Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. His full-length portrait of Sir Nigel Hawthorne in character as Mad King George III was commissioned by the English National Theatre as the promotional image for their production of Alan Bennett's play "The Madness of George III". In 2006, Newley received his highest honor when his portrait of Hawthorne in character as George III was acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum for their permanent collection celebrating Theatre in the 20th century. Recent successes include his mesmeric, multi-layered "Head of Lincoln" which is now the central attraction at The Lincoln Museum in Springfield, Illinois. In 2017, he collaborated with the Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company to produce theatrical portraits of leading actors in Branagh’s season of plays at the Garrick Theatre, including Dame Judi Dench, Sir Kenneth Branagh himself, and Sir Derek Jacobi.
