 (LITTLE ROCK, AR) – The Arkansas Arts Center will present the lecture Gustave Courbet and the Modern Landscape, a lecture by Mary Morton, on Thursday, March 11, 2010.
A reception will be held at 6 p.m. followed a lecture at 6:30 p.m. in the Arkansas Arts Center Lecture Hall. The Spotlight Lecture Series is sponsored by Gaye and Bob Anderson. Dr. Mary Morton, Curator of French Paintings at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., will present the lecture, providing context for the Arts Center’s recent acquisition of a seascape by Courbet.
She will discuss Courbet’s sea and landscapes in relation to the other genres of painting in which Courbet worked. She will also discuss the influence Courbet’s painting had on the Impressionists and later generations of artists.
“I was thrilled when Mary Morton accepted our invitation to lecture at the Arts Center,” says Arts Center Curator of Drawings Phaedra Siebert. “Dr. Morton is a specialist in the art and criticism of nineteenth-century France. She has made meaningful contributions to the body of Gustave Courbet scholarship. Her deep understanding of Courbet’s work and her easy lecturing style will bring our new acquisition to life.”
Admission to the lecture is free. For more information, call 501-372-4000 or visit |

 Yes, it's already that time of the month again, and here at the Gallery that means Wine, Art and Cheeseball (not cramps or paying bills). Gallery 26 will be open late for Shop 'n Sip (or as Renee likes to say: Shopie Sippie ) along with many other fine, valiant Merchants in Hillcrest. Marcus McAllister will be giving an artist talk and Q&A on his current show, so if you're wondering what's up with all the Rabbits, now is your chance to find out. The talk starts at 7:00 but he'll be here at 5:00 for meeting and greeting. Valentines is on the calender this month, so come on in and get an early jump on things. Paintings, Drawings, glass work, jewelry and much more can be had for that special someone in your life....or forget that special someone and just get it for you.
Besides us, there are cocktails to be had at Diversions, shopping at Box Turtle, pet washing, fine dinning at Ferneau's. I hear The House has unveiled their new menu. Come on out!
Current Show:
Gallery 26 presents the paintings and drawings of Marcus McAllister and Janet Wilcox. Marcus, a Little Rock native, currently living in Paris (France), returns with a beautiful selection of work drawn from the pages of his ever present sketchbook. Janet Wilcox, art instructor at Holy Souls, shows that she can do as well as teach. Janet shares her love for all creatures great and small with a wonderful group of paintings meditating on her connection with the loves of her life, both four legged and two.
