Out of this world Fantasy artwork celebrated at Norman Rockwell Museum

By Cori Urban

Special to The Republican

new fantasy-focused exhibit at the Norman Rockwell Museum shows the influence of five centuries of fantasy art on today’s illustrators and the themes that continue to be represented through centuries of human expression.

“Enchanted: A History of Fantasy Illustration” runs through Oct. 31 at the Stockbridge museum.

Unlike science fiction, which is based on fact, fantasy presents an imaginative reality built on universal themes — heroes defeating fire-breathing dragons, angels and demons engaging in combat and mythological tales of love and loss.

Fictional worlds of magic and adventure come to life through fantasy illustration in this exhibit through the portrayal of images representing fairy tales, mythological figures and creatures, archetypes such as the serpent, St. George and the Dragon, representations of good and evil and 20th-century pulp heroes like John Carter and Conan the Barbarian as well as Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones.

“Enchanted: A History of Fantasy Illustration” explores fantasy archetypes from the Middle Ages to today.

The exhibit is designed for people of all ages and all backgrounds. “This is very important to me when designing an exhibition. Fantasy sometimes has a reputation for prurient images, which does not represent the vast scope of fantasy art. The images in the exhibit reflect the best of fantasy illustration,” said Jesse Kowalski, curator of exhibitions. “In curating this exhibit, I wanted to show the rich history of fantasy art and showcase the fine quality of

Enter The Haggis to play outdoor benefit concert

time popular attraction at the Glasgow Lands Scottish Festival, will perform at 7:30 p.m. and will be preceded by opening bands Shindig and The Gobshites.

For the better part of two decades, Toronto’s Enter The Haggis has combined bagpipes and fiddles with a rock rhythm section to create a distinctively eclectic sound.

Their songs offer singalong melodies and deep, meaningful lyrics which tell the stories of everyday hard-working people, often faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges.

Signature songs like “One Last Drink,” “Gasoline,” “Down with the Ship” and “Lancaster Gate” have had hundreds of thousands of plays on social media, appeared in Hollywood movies, and have been performed and recorded by artists around the world.

Shindig features West-

ern Massachusetts fiddler David Breguet, Scottish-born guitarist John Kinnear, and multi-talented bassist Rick Ottman – a musical trio celebrating foot-stomping Celtic tunes.

Tickets for the family-friendly event are available in advance at PurplePass. com and are $25 for adults, $10 for children 6-12 and free for kids under age 6. Tickets also will be available at the gate. Those attending the concert should bring lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy the show in comfort.

The concert is held rain or shine.

Funds from the concert will be donated to Forum House in Westfield and River Valley Counseling Center in Holyoke.

Enter The Haggis, Canada’s indie roots-rock quintet with a Celtic bent, will headline the Glasgow Lands Scottish Festival Summer Concert on Saturday.

The event will be held on the campus green of Westfield State University on 577 Western Ave. from 5 to 9:30 p.m.

Gates open at 4 p.m.

“The concert is as much a way of keeping our name out there so people don’t forget about our Glasgow Lands Scottish Festival as it is a fundraiser,” said Peter Langmore, event chair for the annual fest of everything Scot.

The 26th Glasgow Lands Scottish Festival – the only Scottish festival in Massachusetts and the second largest in New England – was held in 2019 and was the last before the coronavirus cancelled the 2020 and 2021 fests.

The annual fest – now set to return on July 16, 2022, at Look Park in Northampton – regularly attracts over 5,000 people and features pipe and drum bands, athletic games, dance competitions, clans, as well as Celtic rock bands and much more.

“It was certainly disappointing to us after 26 years of promoting the Scottish culture and equally disappointing to the many competing bands, athletes and dancers who came from near and far,” Langmore said about the inevitable cancellations given the seriousness of the pandemic.

Food, beverages and beer will be available for sale.

“Our beer is from New City Brewery in Easthampton and owner and brewmaster Sam Dibble has some special Scottish Ale on tap for the concert,” Langmore said.

out that similar archetypes are present throughout the world, often in cultures that had no contact with one another – creation tales, a Great Flood, a Paradise that was ruined, a savior, an apocalypse, a journey through the underworld, as well as theories of creation based on water, trees, and earth.

He writes in the exhibit: “In the Elder Edda of the Norse, written in the 13th century, the god Odin formed a man from an ash tree and a woman from an elm, then created Midgard, or Middle Earth, in which humankind could thrive. Similarly, from the Algonquins, the Earth Mother’s son, Glooskap, made a man from the trunk of an ash tree and formed smaller human beings, such as fairies and dwarfs, from the ash tree’s bark.”

Kowalski contends that with few exceptions, all art originates in human imagination. “Fantasy is the oldest form of expression — from early cave paintings depicting heroism or god-like figures, Egyptian tombs and Greek pottery, the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, and depictions from Grimms Fairy Tales,” he said, noting that the first written story, “The Epic of Gilgamesh,” from 2100 BCE, contains many of the same elements present in fantasy literature of today in “The Lord of the Rings” and “Game of Thrones.”

because, from Kowalski’s perspective, Rockwell’s artworks possess an appearance of realism, but the meaning behind the painted image is centered in basic human emotions, which is why they continue to appeal to the public.

“While not fantasy by definition, his works present an alternate reality that inspired people through two World Wars and the Great Depression – his images during those periods rarely reflected the news events of the time,” he said. “We present the fantasy exhibition because part of the Norman Rockwell Museum’s mission is to show the history of American Illustration; fantasy illustration is a large part of the history of illustration and continues to grow in popularity.”

tuosity with blazing speed, raw power and a feather-like touch.

He’s also matured as a musician. Each time I have seen him, he brings something new and exciting to whatever work he’s performing. He still has the same feral-like intensity, especially when he performs challenging works

by Liszt, Rachmaninov or particularly Chopin. But he looks and sounds more calm, more composed, especially when he was performing Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 21 at Tanglewood in 2017.

Quite simply, Trifonov is the future of classical music, the new king of the keyboard.

Pianist Martha Argerich said it best in a 2011 interview, saying, “What he (Trifonov) does with his hands is technically incredible. It’s also his touch – he has tenderness and also the demonic element. I never heard anything like that.”

That’s why Trifonov’s performance on Saturday at Tanglewood should be especially exciting. Brahms’ Piano Concerto No. 1 has a ferocity and intensity that could have only been written by someone young (Brahms was 25 years old when he completed the piece) with a burning passion for someone else, in this case his friend’s wife, Clara Schumann.

But you don’t need to know the back story about Brahms or Trifonov to appreciate this wonderful piece performed by a gifting musician. Just simply sit back, listen and enjoy.

Craft beer should rebound this year

T’S NO SURPRISE that last year was a down year for craft beer pretty much across the board.

Is drinking wine good for us?

S WINE BAD FOR US? Or perhaps even good for us?

This is a question writers, doctors, philosophers and social scientists have been wrestling with for centuries.

A fascinating, hour-long news story on the radio this past weekend on NPR’S “On The Media” (parts of which originally aired in 2018) grabbed my attention and dealt with this age-old subject.

As you might expect for someone who writes about wine each week, friends and family members often send me articles about wine. One friend recently sent me a story about medical problems often associated with wine consumption. Another sent me a story about how to order wine in a restaurant.

But that’s another story for another time. Let’s get back to the “On The Media” story titled “Blame It On The Booze,” which deals with America’s love-hate relationship with alcohol.

Part of the “On The Media” story dealt with the unique American phenomenon of Americans drinking alone.

This segment featured a recent interview conducted by NPR’s Brooke Gladstone with Kate Julian, Senior Editor at The Atlantic and the author of a recent Atlantic article titled “America Has a Drinking Problem.”

According to Julian, Americans often drink alone “in a self-medicating way” during difficult times like last year’s on-going pandemic. After Sept. 11, 2001, for example, “heavy drinking” increased by 10 percent, according to Julian.

But solitary drinking in the U.S. was not invented

by Millennials in the early aughts, Julian explains.

Solitary drinking in America started in the 19th century.

Then came Prohibition in 1920. And even after the prohibition on alcohol ended in 1933, alcohol consumption decreased dramatically.

with Ian Gatley, the author of the 2008 book, “Drink: A Cultural History of Alcohol.”

One part of this interview really stuck in my craw. Beer was described by Gladstone as the “working man’s drink” while wine was characterized as “that of the effete or the elite.” According to Gatley, this stereotype dates back to Ken Ross ancient Egypt.

Wine Press Gladstone then just couldn’t resist getting in this zinger.

Compared to the early part of “I bet the wine experts of the the 20th century, Americans day couldn’t tell the expensive drank 50 percent less alcohol wine from the cheap wine in a in 1935, according to Julian. blind test,” Gladstone said.

But over time, alcohol Trust me. People can tell the consumption slowly increased difference. And if you want to and peaked in 1980, according talk about elitist, don’t even to Julian. Then came another get me started on craft beers decrease in alcohol consump- that easily cost $4 or $5 for a tion, followed by another single can compared to numerincrease in 2000. But again, ous great wines that cost less Americans still tend to drink than $10 a bottle. more in isolation compared to But that’s another story. other cultures.

Onto another part of the NPR Personally, I almost never story, which brought back drink alone. For me, one of many great memories and the the great joys of drinking wine age-old debate about whether is sharing a bottle with other or not wine is good for us. people. I love talking about a Gladstone interviewed Robwine, about what we’ve been ert Taylor, assistant managing up to recently, about our hopes editor of Wine Spectator, to and dreams and often a little discuss the famous 1991 story more about the wine and how on CBS’ 60 Minutes about it evolves and changes in the “The French Paradox.” glass over the course of an The November 1991 news afternoon or an evening. story on 60 Minutes was But that’s another story. viewed by 22 million houseOnto the next part of the “On holds and examined why SEE WINE, PAGE E12 The Media” story, an interview

Enduring the heat in the kitchen

‘I

F YOU CAN’T stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.”

Of course for chefs and kitchen workers stuck in a hot kitchen on a simmering July afternoon, “bugging out” is not option. Instead, the culinary profession has developed a host of strategies for “taking the heat.”

Restaurant kitchen are necessarily hot and steamy workplaces. Because of the need to get rid of cooking fumes and the steam produced by ware washing equipment, it’s not practical to air condition food production spaces - the cooled air would quickly (and wastefully) be vented to the outside by the kitchen’s exhaust hood.

Some of the keep-cool culinary how-to involves wardrobe. Many kitchen workers shed the traditional longsleeve chef ’s coat for short sleeves and either drastically cuff up their pants or even switch to shorts. Bandanas and neckerchiefs get prechilled in the freezer before being put on, and some chefs tuck a wet cloth under their cap for top-down cooling. A mid-shift change of socks and shoes can also do wonders for hot, tired feet.

Back-of-the-house people also need to focus on staying hydrated, making sure that they drink fluids that not only quench thirst but replenish body electrolytes .

Some chefs swear by fans placed at floor level and kept running on low speed as a way of helping everyone stay cool. Others take quick breaks in the walk-in refrigerator, sometimes even using those spaces for pre-shift kitchen huddles.

Volunteering to put refrigerated delivery orders away or to reorganize the walk-in is another way some kitchen workers manage to get a respite from the heat.

Most important of all, kitchen workers need to pace themselves on sweltering summer days, making sure

to take frequent breaks and, if necessary, slow down the tempo “on the line,” even if doing so means orders don’t get out quite as quickly as everyone might like.

Side dishes • It’s Summerfest season on Fort Street as the Student Prince Cafe and Fort Restaurant celebrate all that’s special about the warm weather months in New England.

The Summerfest menu includes seasonal favorites such as watermelon salad garnished with ricotta salata, corn O’Brien with bacon, peppers, and onion, and a shrimp roll sandwich.

A broiled seafood platter that features haddock, baked clams, scallops, and baked stuffed shrimp is a daily presence on the Summerfest menu, where it’s joined by a “catch of the day.”

In addition to inside dining, the restaurant offers an al fresco experience under its tent on Fort Street, where live music is offered four nights a week.

Reservations can be made online at studentprince. com or by calling 413-7347475.

The chain is inviting selected customers to go to a “secret” website where they can order new drink combinations that Starbucks wants to promote.

These items are likely to be those first publicized by social media influencers on platforms like Instagram or TikTok. The secret menu promotion is for a limited time only, and Starbucks is not saying if the strategy will, in some form, become permanent.

Wine CONTINUES FROM PAGE E7

heart disease rates were so much lower in France compared to the United States. The conclusion – French people drink more red wine.

The impact of the 60 Minutes story was huge. Red wine sales increased in the United States by 39 percent in 1992, according to Taylor. The story was also one of the most watched episodes featuring 60 Minutes reporter Morley Safer.

In the 60 Minutes piece, Safer interviewed Serge Renaud, a French-Canadian medical researcher who moved from Bordeaux, France to Canada.

Renaud stated that moderate intake of alcohol reduces heart disease by 50 percent. (Let me add that Renaud lived to the ripe old age of 84 years old, which was also the same age Safer was when the easy-going, wine-loving Canadian journalist died in 2016.)

Gladstone then asked Taylor a great question in the NPR story – “The original 60 Minutes piece portrays France as the ideal place where the cultural relationship with wine leads to good health and I’m wondering do the French media talk about alcohol in the same way?”

This answer actually took me by surprise. Since 1991, alcohol advertising has been banned in France. This was due to the high rate of alcohol-related deaths in France.

There are an estimated 50,000 alcohol related deaths each year in France in a country of 67 million people, according to Taylor. In the US, that number is 88,000 deaths each year in a country of 323 million people. In France, that’s 1 in 1,300 deaths. In the US, that’s 1 in 3,600 deaths.

The alcohol-advertising ban in France worked. Wine consumption in France has decreased by more than 50 percent since 1980, according to Taylor. However, per capita wine consumption in France still dwarfs the United States.

In 1980, French adults drank 80 liters of wine (that’s 106.6 bottles) per year, according to Taylor. In 1980, U.S. adults drank 7 liters (9.3 bottles) of wine per year. Now, U.S. adults

drink about 11 liters (14.6 bottles) of wine per year. Now, French adults drink about 40 liters (53.3 bottles) of wine per year.

Even so, the influence of Morley Safer’s 60 Minutes 1991 story about “The French Paradox” still lingers 30 years later, Taylor said.

“I think to this day people consider a glass or two of red wine a night to be preventative, especially for those at risk for cardiovascular disease,” Taylor said to Gladstone.

“There’s evidence now that moderate wine consumption may delay the onset of dementia. The key is moderate. And a lot of the medical community is hesitant to promote wine in this way because they also don’t trust us to drink in moderation.”

I still vividly remember the 60 Minutes episode about “The French Paradox.” Or at least I like to think I remember it well. My family used to (and still does) watch 60 Minutes every Sunday night, right after we used to watch “The Muppet Show” and “Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom” while having popcorn and milkshakes for dinner.

I thought I remembered watching the 60 Minutes episode at my grandparents’ house in Pennsylvania when it first aired in 1991. But the episode was originally broadcast on Nov. 17, 1991, when I would have still been at college my senior year two weeks before Thanksgiving. I have so many fond memories of so many Thanksgiving meals. That’s when several generations of my family would gather for large, festive dinners at my grandparents’ house featuring lots of delicious food and many great bottles of wine. It was meals like these where I first learned to love and appreciate wine as something special and magical and which had absolutely nothing to do with getting drunk or self-medicating and everything to do with sharing something special with the people you love.

But that’s another story for another time. Cheers!
