elcome to The Society of the Four Arts!W

Dear Friend of the Four Arts,

Welcome to a new season!

Each year we strive to enhance both the quality and the quantity of our program offerings at The Society of the Four Arts. As you will see in the pages that follow, the coming season will be no exception. This season, we offer brilliant new HD telecasts of the Bolshoi Ballet, expanded cultural education programs through our Campus on the Lake, and distinguished speakers from the fields of entertainment, media and politics will fill our esteemed Esther B. O’Keeffe Speaker Series.

This year, we also embark on a new era by welcoming Dr. David W. Breneman, who will join the Four Arts as president beginning in January 2015. Dr. Breneman comes from a distinguished educational background. He received his doctorate in economics from the University of California. He has been an accomplished college professor, dean and president. He has worked at the National Academy of Sciences and The Brookings Institution. He is a prolific author and a respected leader in the field of educational reform. He was president of Kalamazoo College from 1983 until 1989. He has been associated with the University of Virginia in various leadership positions since 1995.

Dr. Breneman is a gentleman of intelligence and distinction who will be an inspiring leader with true appreciation for the mission of The Society of the Four Arts. He will build on the wonderful legacy of Ervin Duggan.

On behalf of Dr. Breneman, and all the staff of the Four Arts, we welcome you to another wonderful season of art, music, drama and literature. As always, we are grateful that you continue to support us, tell your friends and bring your family to the Four Arts. You stand behind our mission of providing the highest quality cultural programming to our entire community, and for this we thank you.

Sincerely,

Patrick HenryChairman

Art Exhibits

Drawn from public and private collections in Holland and France, this groundbreaking

exhibition is comprised of approximately 200 works in a dizzying array of media: paintings, watercolors and drawings; rare zinc shadow puppet silhouettes which illustrated programs for the famous Chat Noir cabaret shadow theater; and key ephemera for Parisian theaters, circuses, cabarets and café-concerts which document the activities of artists during this rich period.

The art of Henri Toulouse-Lautrec epitomizes – in subject, style and the use of new technology – many of the “modern” tendencies in French art at the turn of the 19th century. With his art as a central focus, and considered in tandem with that of Edouard Vuillard, Pierre Bonnard, Juan Gris, Mary Cassatt and others, this is the first exhibition to present a kaleidoscopic view of the work of a generation of artists who continued the battle for artistic liberation from Academic standards.

The Esther B. O’Keeffe Gallery is open Monday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday 1 to 5 p.m. Gallery admission is $5; no charge for members and children 14 and younger.

“Illustrating Words: The Wondrous Fantasy World of Robert L. Forbes, poet, and Ronald Searle, artist”This exhibition has been organized by The Society of the Four Arts, Palm Beach, Florida.

Saturday, Jan. 24, 2015 – Sunday, March 29, 2015

“American Treasures from the Farnsworth Art Museum”This exhibition is organized by the Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland, Maine.

Exhibition catalogs will be available for purchase at the gallery reception desk.

This exhibition features more than 50 works from the Farnsworth Art Museum in

Rockland, Maine, including paintings and sculptures from many of the foremost names in the history of American art.

Even before the Farnsworth Art Museum opened its doors on August 15, 1948, it had already set a goal to build a collection of American art whose subjects reflected the daily experience of Maine’s residents. The museum’s earliest acquisitions often depicted the harbors, streams, fields and forests of Maine, as well as boat builders, fishermen, farmers and vacationers along the state’s scenic coastline. Maine has been both host and inspiration to many noted American painters who are featured in this exhibition, including George Bellows, Robert Henri, Marsden Hartley, Childe Hassam, Fitz Henry Lane, Eastman Johnson, Rockwell Kent, Thomas Moran and George Inness.

The Farnsworth is also known for its substantial collection of work by Andrew, Jamie, and family patriarch N.C. Wyeth, who first came to Maine in the 1920s. Works by all three will be featured, as well as the work of sculptor Louise Nevelson. The Farnsworth holds the second largest public Nevelson collection in the world.

Generously Underwritten By

This exciting exhibition features the inventive and whimsical words of Robert L. Forbes, insightfully illustrated with Ronald Searle’s joyful watercolor illustrations. Rich with color

and fanciful detail, the drawings capture the spirit and essence of each poem. The delightful collaboration of these two artists invites the viewer to expand their imagination, creativity and appreciation of words brought further to life with illustration.

Ronald Searle was long known as one of the world’s top illustrators who produced drawings for Life Magazine, The New Yorker, and numerous British publications. Robert Forbes has published three books and is fast becoming a major children’s author.

Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2015 at 3 p.m.Chef Jacques Pépin, “My Life in Food”

Jacques Pépin is an internationally known chef, television personality,

Mr. Pépin immigrated to the United States to become a leader in the American gastronomic revolution ignited by Julia Child.

Tuesday, Jan. 13, 2015 at 3 p.m.Jay Carney, “Today at the White House and Around The Globe”

Jay Carney has viewed Washington from several distinct vantage points:

as a senior journalist for Time magazine, as press secretary to President Barack Obama, and now as a seasoned veteran of partisan Washington’s perception battles. Fresh from Washington’s political combat and the bruising atmosphere of twice-a-day briefings at The White House, Jay Carney has lived a life that most of us can only imagine.

Tuesday, Jan. 6, 2015 at 3 p.m.Ann Romney, “An Afternoon with Ann Romney”

Ann Romney, wife of the 2012 Republican presidential candidate,

is a remarkable figure in her own right: mother and manager of a large, high-achieving family, and now, author of a combination memoir-cookbook. Courageous in the face of both chronic i l lness and the often-unnerving vicissitudes of a major political campaign, Ann Romney shares a dramatic personal story of life in the glare of public scrutiny and of the lessons she’s learned in an eventful life.

Tuesday, March 3, 2015 at 3 p.m.Marlene Strauss, “Dr. Albert Barnes and the Barnes Collection”

Familiar to Four Arts patrons as the Society’s “resident art historian,”

Marlene Strauss is a renowned interpreter of art and artists for audiences at New York’s Metropolitan Museum and at such venues as the Art Institute of Chicago and the Boston Museum of Fine Art. In this lecture, she tells the story of Philadelphia’s famed Barnes Collection: its wealthy, quirky founder, its incomparable masterpieces, and the controversies that have stalked the collection since the day it was created as a mecca for art lovers and scholars.

Tuesday, Feb. 24, 2015 at 3 p.m.John Hamre, Ph.D., “Is the American Century Ending?”

Dr. John Hamre, who has been both a scholar of foreign and defense

Before joining CSIS he was the 26th U.S. deputy secretary of defense and, from 1993 to 1997, undersecretary and comptroller of the Department of Defense. Previously, he spent a decade as a senior staff member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and has held senior posts in the Congressional Budget Office and the Senate Appropriations Committee.

Tuesday, Feb. 17, 2015 at 3 p.m.Joseph A. Califano, Jr., “The Triumph and Tragedy of Lyndon Johnson”

Joe Califano rose to distinction as a Harvard-educated Washington lawyer,

Pentagon and White House aide, and cabinet secretary. Recruited to Lyndon Johnson’s White House at age 34, Mr. Califano became LBJ’s chief domestic policy assistant. After years at the top of Johnson’s staff, he wrote “The Triumph and Tragedy of Lyndon Johnson,” the definitive eye-level, warts-and-all account of Johnson’s eventful and tempestuous reign. Mr. Califano served as Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under President Jimmy Carter. He is also the author of seven other books.

Tuesday, Feb. 10, 2015 at 3 p.m.Peter Georgescu, “The Constant Choice”

Peter Georgescu is chairman emeritus of Young & Rubicam, Inc., a

network of pre-eminent advertising and communications companies, and author of “The Constant Choice — an Everyday Journey from Evil Toward Good,” published in January 2013. A firm belief in the power of education has fueled his involvement with many universities and educational organizations, and a life dedicated to promoting creativity and worthy personal values as the true drivers of success.

Tuesday, Feb. 3, 2015 at 3 p.m.Kenneth Ballen, “Understanding Extremism” The Walter S. Gubelmann Memorial Lecture

Ken Ballen is president and founder of “Terror Free Tomorrow,” a nonprofit,

nonpartisan research organization that investigates the causes of extremism in the Middle East and elsewhere. A former federal prosecutor, he has successfully convicted international terrorists and major figures in organized crime and international narcotics rings. He was counsel to the House Iran-Contra Committee, where he was lead investigator, and is the author of “Terrorists in Love,” perhaps the only book that tells the personal stories of actual terrorists and would-be suicide bombers.

Tuesday, Jan. 27, 2015 at 3 p.m.Gretchen Morgenson, “An Afternoon with Gretchen Morgenson” The Esther Elson Memorial Lecture

Gretchen Morgenson is the Pulitzer Prize-winning “Market Watch”

columnist for the Sunday New York Times. A former stockbroker and author of “The Woman’s Guide to the Stock Market.” The winner of many awards for her trenchant and incisive Wall Street coverage, she has been described by The Nation as “the most important financial journalist of her generation.”

Erik Larson has been described by the Chicago Sun-Times as “a historian …

with a novelist’s soul.” His many best-sellers include “The Devil in the White City,” an account of a serial murderer at Chicago’s 1893 Worlds Fair, and “In the Garden of Beasts,” the bizarre and riveting story of FDR’s Ambassador to Germany and his family, living in Berlin in the early days of Hitler’s regime. A master of narrative non-fiction, Mr. Larson has won numerous awards and his books have garnered worldwide acclaim.

Tuesday, March 24, 2015 at 3 p.m.Peggy Noonan, “An Afternoon of Perspective with Peggy Noonan”The John R. Donnell Memorial Lecture

Peggy Noonan is a writer and political commentator for the Wall Street Journal,

where “Declarations,” her weekly column, has run since 2000. She is also the author of eight books on American politics, history and culture, including her best-seller about her years in the Reagan administration, “What I Saw at the Revolution.” Ms. Noonan was a special assistant and speechwriter for President Reagan, has been a fellow at Harvard’s Institute of Politics, and has taught at Yale University. She is a familiar presence on national television and lectures widely to civic and educational audiences.

Tuesday, March 17, 2015 at 3 p.m.Roz Chast, “Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant?”

Roz Chast — the intellectuals’ favorite cartoonist — has absorbed and delighted

readers of The New Yorker for more than 20 years, with her trenchant depictions of modern urban angst. At the core of her work, however, is not only sharp humor, but a deep understanding of human nature. As a result, Ms. Chast is much decorated: she has been inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters, has won the New York City Literary Award for Humor, has been the Gail Silver Memorial Lecturer at the Rhode Island School of Design, and holds honorary degrees from Dartmouth College, Pratt Institute and other notable institutions.

Tuesday, March 10, 2015 at 3 p.m.Rita Moreno, “An Afternoon with Rita Moreno”

Rita Moreno is the only Hispanic actress in history to win the

top laurel for performance in all of America’s chief performing media categories: the Oscar for her work in motion pictures; the Tony for acting on Broadway; the Grammy for the soundtrack to the children’s television program “The Electric Company;” and two Emmy awards for her achievements in television. Superbly versatile as an actor, singer and dancer, she is also a role model for her courage, determination and her lifetime of unrelenting hard work.

The Society of the Four Arts welcomes Sharon Louden to the Four Arts as our 2015 Beyer

Artist-in-Residence. Ms. Louden is an American artist known for her whimsical use of the line. Her paintings, drawings, animations, sculpture and installations are often centered around lines or linear abstractions and their implied or actual movement. Through her work she creates what she calls “anthropomorphic individuals.” Although abstract and formal, she feels they have human-like aspects within their minimal state, made of simple line and gesture. In reference to her minimalist paintings, Louden has been called “the Robert Ryman of the 21st century.”

Ms. Louden works in a variety of mediums: painting, drawing, sculpture and video. She is also the editor of “Living and Sustaining a Creative Life: Essays by 40 Working Artists.”

As the Beyer Artist-in-Residence, Ms. Louden will not only stay on site in the artists’ apartment at the Dixon Education Building, but will also lecture and teach a series of classes in April.
