SUMMARY:Portraits of a Revolution
DESCRIPTION:This program explores American portraits painted and sculpted during the years leading up to\, and the decades after\, the Revolution. The ideals\, values and virtues expressly stated in our founding documents are easily identifiable in these portraits once we know how to “read” them. We will examine portraits of founding “fathers” and “mothers\,” as well as of lesser-known individuals\, as documents that can be read like texts. We will also discuss the tradition of portraiture\, and the influences of earlier art movements\, artists\, and artifacts\, that inform these American portraits. Audiences will be introduced to\, and practice\, some skills of art analysis and learn how art works can reveal so much about a culture. \nAbout the Speaker: \nInez McDermott  has been teaching art history and curating art and history exhibitions in New Hampshire since 1986. In her classes and research she explores the ways that art can play a role in social engagement\, participatory democracy\, and activism. Her specific research interests focus on historical and contemporary New Hampshire art and artists\, with a particular focus on 19th-century photography.
