Andrea Mantegna (1431-1506) and Giovanni Bellini (around 1435-1516) were two major painters of the Renaissance period. From very different backgrounds, they became in-laws in 1453 when Mantegna married Bellini’s sister Nicolosia. In today’s docent-led talk, we’ll examine their two different ways of working, which, together, paved the way for modern art 500 years ago in Northern Italy. It’s a tale of two artists and brothers-in-law that tells a story of art, family, rivalry, and personality. Two brothers-in-law who took very different artistic paths. Follow on social media!

Max Roemer presents “Beggars of Bliss, Icons of Loss”, new sculptures, paintings and drawings that speak to the viewer as inner figures: archetypes, genies, angels, fools, and fairy tale figures. The sculptures are “Beggars of Bliss”, large raw figures brought to life from found shapes and tree waste, connecting the pieces to the environment from which they grow, and giving expression to the bare experience of both loss and bliss. The paintings and drawings are “Icons of Loss” that echo the sculptures. They combine figures and words, one-word messages and witticism, in a primitive, playful style. “My art is pure play”, says Roemer, “nothing less.” All sales and proceeds will benefit ArtReach, a nonprofit providing arts education to more than 6000 students at Title 1 schools in San Diego County.
