Christina's World by Andrew Wyeth (1948)
Kudos to Harry Bennett Library and to Helane Rheingold on a most enlightening program on November 5th that highlighted the paintings of Andrew Wyeth, Edward Hopper and Winslow Homer.
Ms. Rheingold, a docent at the Neuberger Museum of Art and Arts Enrichment Facilitator at the Stamford Public Schools led a lively discussion.
She prefaced her talk by saying she was not planning on lecturing; to the contrary, she expected audience participation because she learns and continues to learn about the painters via our comments and feedback.
She has a facility for getting people to provide feedback and she orchestrated lively discussions about each painting.
She said that the three American artists were unique in that they were everyday people covering everyday objects.
With each painting she inspired the audience to discover minute details that enhanced our understanding of the work.
Thank you Harry Bennett and Ms. Rheingold.
