Celebrate Ancient Egypt and King Tut’s Tomb

Each program is $20; no charge for Four Arts members ■ Book signings follow All programs are in the Walter S. Gubelmann Auditorium

Kent Weeks, Ph.D.

The Face of Ancient Egypt

Friday, February 3, 2023 at 2 p.m.

The walls of Egyptian tombs are covered with painted and carved scenes that offer remarkable details about life in ancient Egypt. How do we read that art, and what can it tell us about the lives of Egypt’s social classes from pharaohs to fishermen?

Kent Weeks, The Valley of the Kings: Discoveries Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow Monday, February 6, 2023 at 3 p.m.

No archaeological site in the world is more famous than the Valley of the Kings, thanks in large part to King Tutankhamun. We will examine the history of work in the Valley, the new methods being used in its exploration, and offer hints as to what yet remains to be revealed.

Kent Weeks is Founding Director of the Theban Mapping Project. He is Professor Emeritus of Egyptology at the American University in Cairo. He has excavated at many archaeological sites in Egypt, and has worked in the Valley of the Kings preparing detailed archaeological maps and plans of its tombs.

Peter Lacovara, Ph.D.

Death and Burial in Ancient Egypt Monday, February 6, 2023 at noon

The ancient Egyptians devoted enormous resources to ensure their eternal lives. Complex art and rituals were created to ensure this evolved over time. We will explore the hopes and realities that motivated them.

Peter Lacovara Howard Carter and Tutankhamun’s Tomb Wednesday, February 8, 2023 at 3 p.m.

The story of the most spectacular archaeological discovery of all time is familiar to most, but there are many aspects of the search for the details of the tomb and its treasure that are not generally known.

Peter Lacovara is Director of The Ancient Egyptian Archaeology and Heritage Fund and Visiting Research Scholar at the American University in Cairo. His archaeological fieldwork has included excavations at the Valley of the Kings at Thebes, the Palace city of Amenhotep III at Malqata in Western Thebes, and at the Giza Plateau, and he is currently directing the survey and restoration of the site of Deir el-Ballas.

CONTEMPLATING CHARACTER PORTRAIT DRAWINGS & OIL SKETCHES

FROM JACQUES-LOUIS DAVID TO LUCIAN FREUD

Saturday, February 4 through Sunday, April 2, 2023 North and Main Galleries

Lucian Freud (English, b. Germany 1922-2011), Peter Watson, ca. 1945, black crayon on ivory wove paper

ALL EXHIBITION PHOTOS COURTESY OF LANDAU TRAVELING EXHIBITIONS

Contemplating Character explores the evolution of portraiture in 81 works on paper by 68 artists. Executed by some of the most famous portraitists in Europe and America, the works range in date from the 18th century to present day and encompass the many art styles and movements during this expanse of time. Collectively, they reveal the challenge of artists engaged with portraiture: accurately to portray an individual’s physical appearance and capture the sitter’s personality and soul.

* The Four Arts is a Blue Star Museum and participates in the Museums for All program. Visit fourarts.org for more information.

Collector Lecture

Robert Flynn Johnson

Monday, February 27, 2023 at 11 a.m. No charge ■ Reservations required ■ Book signing follows Walter S. Gubelmann Auditorium

Join Robert Flynn Johnson for a lively lecture about the exhibition, which features works from his personal collection of graphic art. In addition to collecting, Mr. Johnson has over 50 years’ experience working as a curator in Baltimore and San Francisco. He will share his professional experiences as well as his collecting philosophy and the development of Contemplating Character.

Contemplating Character is divided into seven thematic sections: artists’ self-portraits, images of family and friends, portraits of artists, anonymous sitters as subjects, scenes of drama and imagination, images of fame, and portraits of repose. This innovative arrangement creates provocative juxtapositions between the portraits. The exhibition also includes notable artists: Aubrey Beardsley, George Wesley Bellows, Pierre Bonnard, William Merritt Chase, R. Crumb, Edgar Degas, Alfred Hitchcock, Thomas Lawrence, Maximilien Luce, Adolf von Menzel, and Édouard Vuillard, among others.

All the works are drawn from the personal collection of Robert Flynn Johnson, Curator Emeritus of the Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. Mr. Johnson was a curator of graphic art for over 40 years and assembled a scholarly collection of rare portraits that exhibit extraordinary artistic skill and imagination. Contemplating Character is accompanied by a 160-page fully illustrated catalogue with an essay by Mr. Johnson, that will be available for purchase at the Customer Service desk.

Docents will provide 45-minute tours every Wednesday and Saturday at 11 a.m. (reservations not required, tour included with admission). To schedule a group tour (10-30 participants), please visit fourarts.org/grouptours.

See Hard Bodies before its January Close

Hard Bodies: Contemporary Japanese Lacquer Sculpture features 33 lacquer works by 16 artists. Organized by the Minneapolis Institute of Art (MIA), it is the first exhibition to showcase a new form of lacquer art: conceptually innovative large-scale sculptures made by contemporary artists. After it debuted in October of 2017, MIA partnered with International Arts & Artists, one of the nation’s leading traveling exhibition companies, to package and tour the exhibition around the United States.

Contemporary lacquer sculptures are made with the same time-tested process of the past. A base object is coated with layers of lacquer, a natural polymer distilled from the sap of the toxicodendron vernificluum (lacquer tree), and each layer is cured (dried) in a warm, humid chamber before the next is applied. And layers often include decoration, such as gold and silver powder (maki-e), pictures drawn on the surface, and inlaid shell and mother-of-pearl. The most common bases for lacquer are wood, bamboo, paper, leather, metal, and textiles, but some Hard Bodies artists explore plastic, foam, and found objects.

Hard Bodies: Contemporary Japanese Lacquer Sculpture

On display through Sunday, January 22, 2023

All galleries

Since lacquer works may entail more than a dozen layers, its production is labor-intensive, timeconsuming, and meticulous. Some of the works in Hard Bodies took months and even years to finish.

All the works in this exhibition are part of MIA’s permanent collection, which is world renowned for its Asian art. The 180-page exhibition catalogue is available for purchase at the Customer Service desk during the run of the show.

Docents provide 45-minute tours every Wednesday and Saturday at 11 a.m. (reservations not required, tour included with admission). To schedule a group tour (1030 participants), please visit fourarts.org/grouptours.

Hard Bodies: Contemporary Japanese Lacquer Sculpture is organized by the Minneapolis Institute of Art and toured by International Arts & Artists, Washington, DC.

EDUARD ANGELI CITIES ON WATER

Saturday, February 4 through Sunday, April 2, 2023 East and South Galleries

Eduard Angeli (b. Austria, 1942) began spending summers in Venice, Italy in 2002 and 2003 and in 2004 he went there to live. Before this he had lived, and painted, in Istanbul and more recently sojourned for a long period in St. Petersburg. Hence the title of this exhibition, with eighteen large works depicting motifs from these three cities.

He is a landscape painter in his favored medium of charcoal. His motifs derive from but do not copy nature. They instead convey ‘ideas’, or realities beyond appearances: ideas that Descartes would classify as ‘adventitious’ and which evoke hidden and mysterious sensations. This places him in a line of descent from 19th century Symbolism and the ‘metaphysical’ painting of Giorgio de Chirico. In particular his somber scenes, deprived of human beings, echoing what commentators

of Edward Hopper’s art call “the loneliness thing”, express a delicious, sentimental melancholy, just as de Chirico’s paintings do. The fog and the dark palette in his image of Palladio’s Redentore convey the ‘idea’ that this is a votive church commemorating Venice’s survival of the plague in 1576: the Giudecca Canal doubles as the River Styx.

Angeli is highly successful in his native capital of Vienna, where he has been given exhibitions in the Rupertinum, the Historisches Museum, the Belvedere and the Albertina (twice). He has also exhibited in the Museo Correr in Venice, and spent 10 years as a Board member of Vienna’s University of Applied Arts. This is Angeli’s first exhibition in the United States and The Four Arts is proud and grateful that the artist has conceded this honor to Palm Beach.

This exhibition is curated by Philip Rylands, President and CEO of The Society of the Four Arts, and organized by The Four Arts.

DALEN, COMPASS

Patricia Van Dalen, (Venezuela, b. 1955), Beyer Artist-in-Residence, Compass, 2022, site-specific installation, vinyl stake flags

Installed in the Philip Hulitar Sculpture Garden on December 10, 2022, with help from students at the Dreyfoos School of the Arts.

See Page 16 for more on Van Dalen and her Four Arts class.

This Compass acts as a symbol for The Society of the Four Arts, whose cultural impact extends towards the four Cardinal points — North, East, South and West. This installation is in dialogue with Isamu Noguchi’s sculpture Intetra, located near the Intracoastal Waterway, along the same East-West axis.

Compass is conceived as a flat origami reminiscent of the unfolded triangles of Intetra, and also resonates with the Hard Bodies exhibition on display through January 22, 2023. Thousands of brightly colored vinyl flags mark the site as a cultural compass of knowledge and wonder.

Deepak Malhotra Reexamining Chamberlain’s Negotiations with Hitler: Ten Essential Lessons for Strategy, Leadership, and Dealmaking February 7

The Bynum Merritt Hunter Memorial Lecture

Peter Zeihan Living After the Lightning February 14

Peter Zeihan’s amazing ability to see around corners has made him one of the most popular geopolitical forecasters of our time. In the post-pandemic age, will the global economy contract or expand? Will China continue its long-held territorial ambitions in the South China Sea indeed, could China look to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as a blueprint for its desired “reunification” with Taiwan? How far will America go to defend her allies? In a follow up to his 2022 talk, “Living in the Lightning,” Zeihan will take us on a journey further into the future.

Folio | fourarts.org

Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain’s negotiation with Adolph Hitler at Munich in 1938 is often cited as one of the worst outcomes of diplomatic negotiation in modern history, a failed attempt at appeasement that led Hitler to believe that his European foes had no appetite for war and would do almost nothing to stand in his way. In this fascinating examination of the real negotiations at Munich, Harvard Business School’s Deepak Malhotra will draw lessons for strategy, leadership, and deal-making from this seminal moment of the 20th century.

Jesse Watters, Watters’ World February 21

The John R. Donnell Memorial Lecture

Jesse Watters is one of Fox News’ most popular hosts and one of the most outspoken conservative political commentators. He currently hosts Jesse Watters Primetime and co-hosts The Five.

Placido Domingo, A Life in Music and Song February 28

The Esther Elson Memorial Lecture

Placido Domingo is one of the most iconic and best-loved opera stars of the last century, and is recognized as one of the most influential singing actors in the history of opera. Born in Spain and raised in Mexico, Domingo studied music from a young age; his versatility as a musician has brought him popular acclaim in various genres, both as a leading man and a conductor on the most famous stages around the world. He is the winner of 14 Grammy and Latin Grammy Awards.

Emerson SQ preparing to take final bow

Emerson String Quartet Sunday, January 29th at 3 p.m.

The Emerson String Quartet has been one of the world’s premier chamber music ensembles for more than four decades, keeping the string quartet form alive and relevant. The quartet plans to disband in October 2023, so The Four Arts is honored to be a part of its final season, hosting an evening of Haydn, Mendelssohn, and Beethoven.

Formed in 1976 and based in New York City, the Emerson String Quartet was one of the first quartets to have its violinists alternate in the first chair position. The Quartet, which takes its name from the American poet and philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson, balances busy performing careers with a commitment to teaching, and serves as Quartet-in-

Residence at Stony Brook University. In 2013, cellist Paul Watkins — a distinguished soloist, award-wining conductor, and devoted chamber musician — joined the original members of the Quartet to form today’s group.

The Quartet has made more than 30 acclaimed recordings and has been honored with nine Grammys (including two for Best Classical Album), three Gramophone Awards, the Avery Fisher Prize, and Musical America’s “Ensemble of the Year” award. Its discography includes the complete string quartets of Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Bartok, Webern, and Shostakovich, as well as multi-CD sets of the major works of Haydn, Mozart, Schubert, and Dvořák.

“With musicians like this, there must be some hope for humanity.”

Calidore String Quartet

Sunday, January 15, 2023 at 3 p.m.

Recipient of an Avery Fisher Career Grant and a Lincoln Center Emerging Artist Award, the Calidore String Quartet first made international headlines as winner of the Grand Prize of the 2016 M-Prize International Chamber Music Competition. Currently in residence with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center’s Bowers Program, the ensemble’s name is an amalgamation of “California” and “doré” (French for “golden”). Praise for the quartet includes its “deep reserves of virtuosity and irrepressible dramatic instinct” (New York Times) and “four more individual musicians are unimaginable, yet these speak, breathe, think and feel as one” (Washington Post).

Paul Huang, violin and Anne-Marie McDermott, piano

Wednesday, January 18, 2023 at 7:30 p.m.

The Romeros Guitar Quartet

Sunday, January 22, 2023 at 3 p.m.

Known as “The Royal Family of the Guitar,” the Romeros were founded by Celedonio Romero and his sons in 1958. The Quartet today consists of the second (Celin & Pepe) and third generations (Lito & Celino).

To have so many virtuosi of the same instrument in one family is unique. The New York Times has said: “Collectively, they are the only classical guitar quartet of real stature in the world today; in fact, they virtually invented the format.” The Romeros have helped create an entirely new repertoire for guitar quartet, both as a chamber ensemble and as a concerto soloist, and have inspired distinguished composers to either write new works or arrange existing ones.

The Gubelmann Auditorium plays center stage for a blockbuster violinpiano duo recital by Paul Huang and Anne-Marie McDermott, two superb masters of the genre. A colorful international tour begins in Estonia, with Arvo Pärt’s mystical, chant-influenced Mirror in the Mirror. Next, the duo moves to Russia for Prokofiev’s haunting and intense first violin sonata written during World War II. After intermission, the mood is lightened in Vienna by a vivacious and charming sonata from Mozart, and the program closes in New York with music of the acclaimed American composer John Corigliano, his early violin sonata, written for his father who was concertmaster of the New York Philharmonic.

Wednesday, February 22, 2023 at 7:30 p.m.

Based in Austin, Texas, the Miró takes pride in finding new ways to communicate with audiences of all backgrounds while cultivating the tradition of chamber music. A “Rendezvous with Benny” will celebrate the artistry of Benny Goodman, centered particularly on the relationship between Benny and the Budapest Quartet, who together recorded the Mozart quintet in the ‘50s. The Miró will be joined by clarinetist David Shifrin, winner of both the Avery Fisher Career Grant (1987) and the Avery Fisher Prize (2000), for the program, which will also include the piece that inspired the song “Rendezvous” by Alan Shulman.

Morton is Professor of World Politics at Florida Atlantic University and a Fellow at the Foreign Policy Association.

January 23: The Antebellum South February 27: The Civil War and Postbellum South March 20: The Modern South April 3: The South Today

Few parts of the United States exhibit and elicit such conflicting politics, images, emotions, hopes, and fears as the South. It can seem at once the essence of home, yet purely exotic, a place of terror and a place of laughter, a generator of culture and the most backward part of the nation. Florida Atlantic University Professor Taylor Hagood will delve into the complexities of the South via a tapestry of history, geography, literature, music, film, art, philosophy, and politics, showing how the South has played a major role in defining the country from its beginnings to the present day.

Dante’s Divine Comedy with Joseph Luzzi, Ph.D.

Tuesdays from 10 to 11:30 a.m. $250 for each series

Purgatory February 7, 14, and 21

** VIRTUAL PROGRAM**

Paradiso March 7, 14, and 21

** VIRTUAL PROGRAM**

What makes Dante’s Divine Comedy such essential reading today, even though it was written seven centuries ago? And why have so many readers been drawn to his second and third canticles, Purgatory and Paradiso? These courses will explore the fascinating world of Dante’s epic poem in all its cultural and historical richness. We consider Dante’s relation to his beloved hometown of Florence, his lacerating experience of exile, and his lifelong devotion to his muse Beatrice, among many other issues. Dante has enchanted readers for centuries with his beautiful language, meditations on human time and forgiveness, and extraordinary development of characters. Students are welcome to use whatever edition of the texts they have. Joseph Luzzi (Ph.D, Yale), Professor of Comparative Literature at Bard College, will be using the translation by Robert and Jean Hollander.

The Triumphant Return of the King Fling!

The King Fling returned November 4, 2022 to The Philip Hulitar Sculpture Garden at The Society of the Four Arts for the first time since 2019. More than 300 guests attended, raising funds for the King Library through ticket sales, mystery wine auction, and book sales.

With the backdrop of music renditions by the Jeff Harding rock band, guests perused gently-used and expertlycurated art and coffee table books in the Pannill Pavilion. The books were generously donated by King Library members, Four Arts members, and the public. A mystery wine grab enticed attendees to pay $20 for the chance to win bottles valued up to $200. Catering was provided by Nosh, Hampton Liquors provided the wine, TooJays donated dessert, and Renny and Reed designed the floral arrangements.

King Library and Customer Service staff, volunteers, and Library committee members manned the stations to ensure the night was a success. The King Fling will return next season on November 3, 2023.

COMING IN MARCH

“Schubert Revealed”

A festival featuring three performances organized by Wu Han with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center

Schubert Revealed I Sunday, March 5th at 6:30 p.m.

Schubert Revealed II Wednesday, March 8th at 7:30 p.m.

Schubert Revealed III Sunday, March 12th at 3 p.m.

No words can adequately describe what the music of Schubert has meant to me during my lifetime. It continues to reach the innermost part of my soul in ways both familiar and new. This festival looks at Schubert from three perspectives: the relationship between his incomparable lieder and his instrumental music; his influences and their effect on his compositions; and the consequence of his last efforts, which afforded him the immortality he hoped so dearly for, and a place in the Pantheon of musical gods. – Wu Han
