Chief Curator Alicia G. Longwell will host two upcoming lunchtime talks focusing on “Joequín Sorolla and Esteban Vicente: In the Light of the Garden” at the Parrish Art Museum.
During these talks, Alicia G. Longwell, Ph.D, Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Chief Curator, will share her insights and scholarship on Joaquín Sorolla (Spanish, 1863−1923) and Esteban Vicente (American, born Spain, 1903–2001)—two preeminent Spanish artists who were deeply inspired by the light and color emanating from their gardens during their later creative periods. Their work is currently on display in the exhibition “In the Light of the Garden,” organized by Longwell and featuring paintings by Sorolla dating from 1916 to 1919 and paintings, works on paper, and small sculptures made by Vicente between 1985 and 2000.
Longwell will discuss Sorolla on Thursday September 8 and Vicente on Thursday, September 15. Guests are invited to pre-order lunch through the Café at the Parrish to enjoy during the talk. Outside food is not permitted. Tickets are $12 for adults, $9 for seniors, and free for members, students, and children.
