587 Discovering the Impressionists:
Paul Durand-Ruel and the New Painting
584 The First Environmentalists: The Hudson River
With the controversy today about climate change and global
warming, the works of the Hudson River School painters
have even more relevance. Artists like
Thomas Cole, Frederic Church, and Albert
Bierstadt, among others, were truly our
first environmentalists, capturing the
beauty and grandeur of the then largely
pristine American landscape. This program will take you on
a journey down the majestic Hudson River and other scenic
sites through their eyes. Plus we’ll be following some of these
painters farther west where they immortalized on canvas the
majestic Rockies and the Sierra Nevada mountains, laying the
foundation for our National Park system.

585 Through the Eye of the Needle:
The Art of Esther Nisenthal Krinitz
Esther Nisenthal was 15 years old in October 1942 when
the Jews of her village in Poland were ordered to report to
a nearby train station. Esther refused to go,
and with her 13-year old sister Mania, made
their way to another village where they spent
the next two years living as Polish Catholic
farm girls. More than 40 years after the war,
she created a stunningly beautiful series of 36
fabric collage and embroidered panels, each
with stitched narrative captions that together depict a young
girl’s eyewitness account of the war. One of Esther’s daughters,
Bernice Steinhardt, will present “Through the Eye of the Needle,”
a 30-minute documentary in which Esther tells her story in
interviews accompanied by beautiful images of her artwork.

586 A Closer Look at Abstract Expressionism
Several of the artists painting in the Abstract Expressionism
style in New York City (Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko,
Jackson Pollock) became alcoholics. Others
committed suicide. Nervous breakdowns
and depression were common amongst
this group of painters. This course will
explore the lives of artists practicing abstract
expressionism in the 1940s and 50s. We’ll study the art forms
that influenced abstract expressionism and learn more about
how the style differed from artist to artist. And we’ll take a closer
look at how the style affected the health and well-being of the
painters who championed it.
Monet, Renoir, Degas, and Cassatt are household names
today. But have you heard of Paul Durand-Ruel who
discovered them? This program will focus on
the art dealer and his vital role in promoting
the then unknown Impressionist. Providing
you with a “sneak preview” of the exhibition
honoring him at the Philadelphia Museum of
Art from June 24 to September 13. Direct from
the Musee du Luxembourg in Paris and the National Gallery
of Art in London, this exciting show will highlight the works
Ruel helped to make famous including Renoir’s “Dance in
the Country” and “Two Sisters,” Cassatt’s “Child Taking a Bath”
(considered her most admired work of this genre), as well as
a selection of Monet’s poplar and garden scenes plus Degas’
depictions of the ballet.

588 Art with a Message: Protest Art
Created in response to the bombing of Guernica, a Basque
Country village in northern Spain, by German and Italian
warplanes during the Spanish Civil
War, Picasso’s Guernica was his first
politically-charged painting. Dada
was an art movement born out of
negative reaction to the horrors of
World War I. These are examples of using visual art as a means
of protest. This class will explore how artists throughout
history have used visual imagery to raise attention for political
and cultural issues.

589 Impressionism: Myth and Reality
How did “Impressionist” painting come to be, and why
has this style’s popularity proven so enduring? Focusing
attention on the 1874 exhibition from which
this makeshift group received its name, this
class introduces a group of artists committed
to representing modern life as they saw it,
including Édouard Manet, Edgar Degas, and
Claude Monet. Their art corresponded to
new theories of beauty, in which the ephemeral and the
particular counted as much as the ideal. We will consider the
myths about these artists’ careers and their critical reception
alongside the reality of their working practices.

617 Off the Beaten Track in France: Champagne (L’Aube)
Less than 3 hours from Paris, in the southernmost part of the
Champagne region, nestled against the border of Burgundy,
is a lovely little village that was once home
to both Pierre Auguste Renoir and his
filmmaker son, Jean Renoir. This village is a
great place from which to explore this part
of France, which is not very well known even
by many French people. It is a wonderful destination for a
weekend away from Paris, or a stop along the way from Paris
to the south of France (or Switzerland). Janet Hulstrand first
discovered this village when she picked grapes there in 1978.
In the years since she has made it her second home. She will
share with you stories of the Renoir family, and talk about all
of the wonderful things there are to do in this part of France—
with something to please everyone, whether your interest is
art, history, tasting the local artisanal champagnes, or the great
outdoors.

fraud and protect your hard-earned money.
Learning how to invest safely can mean a huge

artists who are “nice” or attempt to develop a
false bond of friendship. Scam artists prey on

or feel indebted to someone who has provided unsolicited
investment advice. This lecture and discussion will cover
suggestions for investors to help avoid fraud and questions to

623 The Ephemeral History of Perfume
The sense of smell is culturally and biologically central to
human life, yet it often seems enigmatic, especially its role in
the past. Can something as subjective as the sense
of smell have a history? In this presentation, I’ll argue
yes, exploring the history of olfaction in the West
from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century through
four key scents: frankincense, rose attar, jasmine, and
synthetic musk. We’ll end by considering the history of modern
perfume in the twentieth century and its relationship to more
recent cultural history. Holly is the author of The Ephemeral
History of Perfume: Scent and Sense in Early Modern England.

627 The Trial of Alfred Dreyfus
In December 1894, a French military tribunal found Alfred
Dreyfus guilty on a charge of high treason. This verdict was
to affect not only the Army but also successive
governments over the next 12 years. It was to
involve the church, the judiciary and intellectuals
alike in a controversy of such intensity that
even today, over 100 years later, it still arouses
passionate debate. The case involved the issue
of anti-Semitism amongst Dreyfus’ accusers; the
determination of the War Office that at all costs
the honor and the good name of the Army must be upheld;
the effect of Zola’s intervention and his J’accuse letter.

his photographic memory. He was at various
times the music director of La Scala Milan,

New York Philharmonic Orchestra. Later in his
career he was appointed the first music director of the NBC
Symphony Orchestra (1937–54), and this led to his becoming
a household name through his radio and television broadcasts
and many recordings of the operatic and symphonic repertoire.

631 Fit for America: The Role of Health
in Immigration
Recent concern about Ebola and measles coming from
abroad reminds us that health continues to be a matter of
concern in this nation of nations. Beginning
in the 1890s, the federal government
assumed responsibility for protecting the
health and well-being of Americans from
those who might be bringing disease
from abroad or become economic burdens on the country.
Immigration depots such as Ellis Island in New York harbor
became the first line of defense against diseases from
abroad. Today, Ellis Island stands as a monument to the rich
immigrant experience of the United States, but concern about
protecting Americans from disease and the role of health in
the Americanizing process remains an ongoing concern of
those shaping current immigration policy and pursuing the
integration of immigrants into American society.

633 The Violin: A Social History
What we know as the violin surfaced in the mid-16th century.
Virtually unchanged, it’s been an icon of globalization ever
since. Over almost five centuries it has followed
money and power from French queens to Russian
oligarchs; adapted itself to Beethoven quartets, Irish
fiddlers, Mexican mariachis, klezmer, jazz and hard
rock; sold over the counter at Taoist temples for a
few dollars, and at online auction for nearly $16
million. East European Jews, Japan, Korea and China have used
it to connect with the modern world. Moslems from Morocco
to Indonesia have generally ignored, avoided and occasionally
destroyed it. Jefferson, Einstein, Mussolini and Sherlock Holmes
played it for fun. Its history is essentially a history of the world
since Columbus and Shakespeare. It is hard to think of any other
product, tool or artifact from the moldboard plow to the iPhone
that offers more to think and talk about.

on trial included all the members of Lenin’s
Politbureau, except Stalin himself. Trotsky,
though absent, was the chief defendant in
these proceedings. They were all accused of
working, from the earliest days of the Russian
Revolution, for the espionage services of Britain, France, Japan,
and Germany, and of making secret agreements with agents
of Hitler and the Mikado to cede vast slices of Soviet territory
to imperialist Germany and Japan. The defendants in Moscow
abjectly confessed to their guilt; Trotsky alone did not. The
trials were followed by a frightful purge of people from every

638 Giuseppe Verdi - Session 1
During the years 1847 to 1853, As Italy takes steps to establish
a national ruling monarchy, Verdi becomes the undisputed
“King of Italian Opera!” Italian romanticism is now in full bloom
and Verdi develops a new type of operatic drama that is at
once popular, but which also is in consonance with traditional
Italian operatic values. These years witness perhaps Verdi’s most
astonishing artistic developments as the abstract concepts of
the “Byronic Hero” are wedded to the real life drama of Dumas
fils’ Camille. The operas I Masnadieri (1847) and La traviata
(1853) frame this development, which also include the other
genius works of Verdi’s middle period: Luisa Miller, Rigoletto,
and Il trovatore. The often neglected masterpieces, La battaglia
di Legnano and Stiffelio also prove to be stunning examples of
Verdi’s new sense of theatre. It is during this period that Verdi
becomes a major, international composer.

The operatic culture in the post-Napoleonic era, along with
the musical influences of Italy’s major composers at the time
(Rossini, Bellini, and Donizetti) set the stage for Verdi’s early
career. Discover how Verdi begins to develop his unique “voice”
and how French romanticism is conflated with nascent feelings
of Italian nationalism as he emerges as Italy’s newest operatic
genius. A proper understanding of these early years is absolutely
essential to place Verdi’s development as an artist in its proper
context; these early operas also contain some of his finest, yet
little known, music. A true appreciation of Verdi begins here.
Monday
10:30 AM to 12:00 PM April 27
As Verdi’s reputation as Italy’s leading composer expands, his
years in Paris also contribute to his rising stature as one of the
world’s major composers. It is during the period ranging from
his Les vepres siciliennes (1855), premiered at the Opera in
Paris, to the new production of Macbeth (1865) also for Paris,
that Verdi was able to more fully embrace, new concepts of
orchestration and modern staging techniques as experienced in
the French capital. It is during this period that Verdi’s immense
sense of universality begins to fully develop, especially in the
operas Un ballo in maschera and La forza del destino: two
operas perhaps more “Shakespearean” than the actual operas
drawn from Shakespeare. It is also during this period that Verdi
begins to develop his operatic craft on the grandest of scales.
Also, Simon Boccanegra (1857) proves to be a harbinger of the
spectacular collaboration that will develop between Verdi and
the librettist Arrigo Boito.
Monday
10:30 AM to 12:00 PM June 15
643 Giuseppe Verdi - Session 4
It was during the decades from the 1860s to the 1890s that
modern Italy was established. It was also during this period
that Verdi came to be known as the sole creator of Italy’s new,
modern opera culture and this development paved the way for
Italy’s new generation of composers, which was to be led by
Giacomo Puccini. Verdi’s spectacular operas Don Carlos (1867)
and Falstaff (1893) frame this period and they perfectly illustrate
Verdi’s pioneering developments in operatic composition and
stagecraft. The works of this period most fully represent the
concept of grand opera and what the world considers to be
“operatic.” Each of the operas of this period present characters
suffering in the most intense of private situations, within a
public framework. These masterpieces present some of the
greatest examples of what the ancient Greek dramatists
sought in their plays: the full panoply of the human condition.
Ranging from an extraordinary setting of Schiller’s play, Don
Carlos, to the eternally popular Aida, to the final Shakespearean
masterpieces, Otello and Falstaff, Verdi’s operas of this period
give birth to Italy’s modern international voice.

discover works of art at one of the largest and most renowned
museums in the
