“Art is a mirror held up to the society which birthed it, a whisper from long ago history. It is a code message sent to a timeless future: this is who we were; what we believed; what we valued.” — Linda Blair In his last years, having lost all whom he had loved, along with his large fortune, Rembrandt turns inward; the cockiness of youth yields to a tragic vision of age and loss. Western art has never experienced such magnificent examinations of what it is to be human. Rembrandt’s portraits present compelling, sentient beings, who think … feel … remember. In these lectures, we always speak of the role of art within its given society, but with Rembrandt’s evocations of a human’s inner life and of the tragedy of life, art becomes universal, transcending boundaries and borders, time and place. About Linda Blair: Linda Blair has taught art history for many years, at the La Jolla Athenaeum and UC San Diego Osher; she was a docent at The Cloisters. She holds a BA from Mills College and an MA from USD. She is an active volunteer at UC San Diego, dedicated to raising scholarship funds. Tickets: $16/21 The lecture will be in person at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library. There are no physical tickets for this event. Your name will be on an attendee list at the front door. Doors open at 7 p.m. Seating is first-come; first-served. This event will be presented in compliance with State of California and County of San Diego health regulations as applicable at the time of the lecture.

A year after publishing his Surrealist Manifesto, Breton organized the first group exhibition for La peinture surréaliste in the Gallery Pierre in Paris. It included work by Giorgio de Chirico, Paul Klee, Pablo Picasso, Jean Arp, Max Ernst, Joan Miró, André Masson, Man Ray, Jean Tanguy, and Pierre Roy. New members joined the group in 1929: former Dadaist Tristan Tzara, Salvador Dalí, filmmaker Luis Bunuel, and sculptor Alberto Giacometti. A group of talented women artists have long stood in the shadow of their famous male peers. This lecture also explores the contributions of Leonora Carrington, photographer Dora Mar, Lee Miller, and Meret Oppenheim. The beginning of WWII scattered the surrealist group all over the world. About Cornelia Feye: Cornelia Feye has a MA in art history and anthropology from the University of Tübingen, Germany. She traveled around the world for seven years before landing in New York City, where she was an art educator at the Jacques Marchais Museum for Tibetan Art on Staten Island. After moving to San Diego, she added the Museum of Art and the Mingei International Museum to her education résumé, and for 10 years she was Director of the School of the Arts and Arts Education at the Athenaeum of Music & Arts. Feye has taught Western and non-Western art history at colleges and universities in San Diego and continues to lecture at UCSD with an emphasis on women artists and conceptual art. Feye has blended her knowledge of art history with her love of writing in five art mystery novels, including "Spring of Tears," which, along with her short story anthology "Magic, Mystery & Murder" won San Diego Book Awards. As publisher of Konstellation Press, she gives a voice to independent authors. She currently lives in Ocean Beach, California, where she enjoys writing, rollerblading and looking for the green flash.
