Join Timken Museum of Art for a fun filled virtual talk! Leonardo de Vinci once said, "Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen." Over the centuries, poets have inspired visual artists to create imagery displaying emotion and summarizing the stories told in their poetry. Conversely, painters display emotion, political comment and humanity, which capture the imagination of the poet and are translated to the written word. Date | Thursday, March 10, 2022 at 11am Location | Virtual Link Register here! Must register online to attend. From Pieter Bruegel the Elder and Edmund Spencer in the 16th century to Albert Bierstadt and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in the 19th century, this docent-led talk will examine the result of these collaborations that have inspired creativity across the centuries providing art for us to appreciate and enjoy. For more information, please contact Alexandra Riley at ariley@timkenmuseum.org or by phone at (619) 550-5955 or visit the website: https://www.timkenmuseum.org/calendar/event/virtual-talk-paintings-poetry-inspiring-each-other-across-centuries/

A pediatric orthopedic surgeon turned award-winning photographer, Lisa Miller beguiles the viewer with images that are simultaneously timeless and timeworn. Her photos - roses past their prime, tangerines positioned in front of trees, gas pipes in close up - are familiar yet otherworldly thanks to the precision of her compositions and technique. Date | Friday, March 11, 2022 Location | Once Upon A Frame Miller counts Rembrandt, Sebastião Salgado, and Sam Abell among her influences, but she is in especially rapt conversation with 17th-century Dutch and Spanish still life artists: “They make painted objects look realistic and I make photographed objects look like paintings.” Bring the kids and pets, enjoy wine and cheese, and take in Miller’s gorgeous photographs, framed by Once Upon A Frame for her solo show.
