Upcoming Programs for Washington Print Club Members
- Saturday, April 24, 2010: Extending the Book, The Art of Extra
Illustration at the Folger Shakespeare Library. Erin C. Blake,
Folger curator of art and special collections and co-curator of the
show, will lead a walking tour of the exhibition, which examines the
art of extra-illustration -- inserting illustrations of places, people
or things into a text to act as personal visual annotations.
- Friday, May 14, 2010: The Texture Of Night: James McNeill Whistler
at the Freer Gallery Of Art. Join Lee Glazer, curator of American
art and the exhibition's curator, on a walking tour of this show of
about 50 "nocturnes" (the term Whistler used to describe his
nearly abstract moonlit landscapes). Following the tour of the exhibition,
WPC members will be invited into the Freer's storage area to view other
related images and/or states of the Whistler prints in the show.
