FRIENDS OR RIVALS?
From an early age we’re told to be nice, play well with others, color inside the lines, and be cooperative and respectful to those around us.
Yet it doesn’t take too long—high school or one’s first job—to realize that this ideal state of social harmony rarely exists in the world. The art world is highly competitive.
There were both friendships and rivalries, this series gives a taste of some of them.


10:30 am - light brunch served
11 am - lecture begins

September 16 : CLASHES
From the early Renaissance where artists competed for commissions from popes, to the 20 century when the words of critics could make or break an artist, this opening overview of some historic clashes includes Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Francesco Borromini, Renaissance artists whose architecture transformed Rome; Caravaggio and Giovanni Baglione, whose work embodied the clash between old and new; Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, who were at one time “roped together like mountain climbers;” and Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning, who were breaking all the rules.

October 28: MICHELANGELO AND RAPHAEL
Michelangelo and Rapheal were a pair of incredible Renaissance artists who experienced a particularly epic rivalry. Both vied for the same patrons, and both often worked on the same large-scale projects, so their professional contempt quickly became ultra-personal.

December 9: JEAN-AUGUSTE-DOMINIQUE INGRES AND EUGENE DELACROIX
Jean-Auguste-Dominque Ingres and Eugene Delacroix were two prominent French painters in the 19 century. In the public imagination, they were often pitted against each other.
As one critic said, their work was “the battle between antique and modern genius.”

January 13: JAMES MALLORD WILLIAM TURNER AND JOHN CONSTABLE
Whether Turner and Constable were friends or rivals, they both claimed new dignity for the landscape genre, making it a hallmark of 19 century painting.

February 10: EDOUARD MANET AND EDGAR DEGAS
Manet and Degas were both rebellious sons from bourgeois families and both broke new ground in art. Manet was an established artist when they met, and their relationship was full of jealous tiffs. But they pushed each other to take risks, and those came to define their careers.

March 10: HENRI MATISSE AND PABLO PICASSO
In the early 20th century, Paris became a crucible of artistic experimentation, where Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse forged a dynamic friendship amidst the burgeoning avant-garde movement. They weren’t close friends, but there was an element of pure artistic competition as the younger Picasso sought to assimilate the lessons of Matisse and then surpass him.

Armed with engineering know-how, sharp wit, and sheer determination, he takes on each challenge with grit and humor in this gripping, surprisingly funny survival story about beating the odds one step at a time.

North Woods by Daniel Mason
Spanning centuries, North Woods tells the story of a single house in the New England wilderness and the lives of those who pass through it, from fugitive lovers to war survivors, painters, and even a panther. Each chapter reveals a new inhabitant, uncovering secrets, desires, and connections that echo across time. Richly atmospheric and deeply imaginative, this novel explores how history, nature, and memory intertwine, asking the haunting question: how do we endure, even after we're gone?

Meditation in the Gallery

Saturday November 8

10:30 am - noon

Join us for an introduction to mindfulness and concentration practices that support meditation. The artwork on view will be used as points of reflection, concentration, meditation, and investigation. Bring your love of art and your desire to build a contemplative practice together into one space. Throughout this session, you will learn concrete techniques for how to hold the body, breathe, focus the mind, release unbeneficial thoughts, relax tension in the mind and body, and observe the movements of the mind.

These skills can be cultivated, and in so doing you will achieve moments of clarity, equanimity, and joy. Meditation is a practice. Anyone can learn how to do it with ever more skill and positive results. It just takes a little bit of knowledge and a lot of desire to establish this life practice.

This is a beginners’ class, so we welcome people who do not have a meditation practice. However, if you need a brush up of an old skill, feel free to join and re-ignite your practice. You will learn concrete and specific ways to make your practice more enjoyable and more beneficial.

Taught by Lezlie Laws, Certified Meditation Teacher at Orlando Insight Meditation Group.

In a dystopian America where prisoners challenge for a shot at freedom, Loretta Thurwar and Hamara “Hurricane Staxxx” Stacker are stars of the controversial CAPE program.

A bold, unflinching look at mass incarceration, capitalism, and the meaning of freedom, Chain-Gang All-Stars is as thrilling as it is thought-provoking.
