This docent-led talk will explore the work of some of the most prominent Northern Renaissance painters who were active primarily in the cities of Bruges and Ghent during the 15th and 16th centuries. For example, the brilliant Jan van Eyck was one of the most prominent artists in Bruges during the 15th century. His contributions to European art were many, including the perfection of the use of oil paint and his minutely realistic depictions of surface effects and natural light. His successor, Petrus Christus was known to have introduced single point perspective. Other Northern artists such as Rogier van der Weyden and Robert Campin helped shape Northern Renaissance art through their close observations and meticulously detailed depictions of human figures and their surroundings. The typical subject matter of the Flemish School was often religious in nature, but small beautifully executed portraits were also common. The Timken Museum is fortunate to have paintings by three of the most significant Flemish/Netherlandish painters such as Pieter Brueghel the Elder, Petrus Christus, and Pieter Claeissens the Elder. Their works and that of many prominent Flemish artists will be highlighted in this docent-led talk. This is a Zoom and Facebook Live event. Everything is hosted online and free.

The Center for World Music and the Indian Fine Arts Academy of San Diego present: Journeys with Kabir: Prahlad Singh Tipanya in Concert Padma Shri Prahlad Singh Tipanya is one of India’s most popular and highly honored folk singers. Renowned for singing the songs of Kabir, the great iconoclastic mystic of 15th-century North India, Tipanya is also a highly respected interpreter of Kabir’s spirituality. We are delighted to welcome this extraordinary musician and his troupe back to San Diego some 20 years after their first, unforgettably wonderful concert at the University of San Diego during their first US tour in 2003. Tipanya and his troupe of three musicians from his home village in North India will present a concert of devotional songs based on the mystical poems (dohas) of Kabir. During the concert, Dr. Linda Hess, retired professor of religious studies at Stanford University and a leading scholar and translator of Kabir, will present translations of the powerful poetry that the musicians will sing.

How do we regenerate the Pacific Forests? This is the central question in artworks made by Helen and Newton Harrison, starting with The Serpentine Lattice in 1993 and continuing to the present day with their research initiatives led by the Center for the Study of the Force Majeure at UC Santa Cruz. Their earlier work addresses forest clear-cutting, while the more recent work focuses on how forests are impacted by related public policy and climate change itself. Join us for a panel to explore how artworks in the exhibition speak to the current crisis in our forests. The panel is moderated by Anne Douglas and Chris Fremantle. Featured speakers include: - Josh Harrison, the Harrisons’ son and current Director of the Center for the Study of the Force Majeure at UC Santa Cruz. - Megan Jennings, Conservation Ecologist, Climate Science Alliance advisor, and Co-Director of San Diego State University's Institute for Ecological Monitoring and Management. - Ruth Wallen, artist and long-time collaborator with the Harrisons. - Joelene Tamm, founding member of the Southern California Fire, Fuels, and Forestry Cadre. - Will Madrigal, Jr., California Indian Professor of American Indian Studies/History/Language, and an enrolled member of the Cahuilla Band For more information visit: sandiego.librarymarket.com
