Join the Timken Museum of Art on a Virtual session about the 19th Century Painting in England The late 18th century and early 19th century in England saw the development of the Romantic Movement in art and literature. Major artists such as William Blake and Samuel Palmer were part of this group. In addition, two of the most influential landscape painters, JMW Turner and John Constable were gaining prestige at this time. These artists, along with key members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, which was founded in 1848 and focused on genre, literary, and religious subjects, will also be discussed in this presentation.

From the gallery and artist: "Mình Sẽ Đi Về" is Ellis Duc Luu’s second solo art exhibition. A series of ink drawings that depict the events of the Vietnam war and the refugees that were produced from the outcome. The artwork functions as both a narrative and a letter. One to provide a story of the conflict from an uncommon source. The other, is an intimate letter from the artist to his family. The series tries to weave complex themes of anti-war, grief, satire, and diaspora into a comprehensive vision. What separates humans from the rest of the animal kingdom? It is the ability to tell stories, and how humanity can bring such power to these tales that it can warp the fabric of reality. "Mình Sẽ Đi Về" is a fairy tale about the many Vietnamese and southeast Asians who transformed into refugees due to imperialist involvement. On their backs, they carried strife and tribulations to survive in new lands with unknown tastes and scents. This story is to bring some equilibrium to the unbalanced narrative of many who lost their memories and homes. A piece to the ever growing chronicles of refugees around the world, past, present, and future.
