The Museum is a leader in rediscovering the rich art and history of the French Academy, the British Royal Academy and other centers of artistic tradition throughout the Western world. Telling Tales I explores the Classical legacy in a broad range of exquisite paintings, drawings and sculptures from the Dahesh Museum of Art collection and demonstrates how 19th-century academic artists adapted the Classical canon to their specific needs and aspirations. Telling Tales I was organized by Associate Curator Roger Diederen, who wrote the full-color catalogue that complements the exhibition. The second half of this investigation, Telling Tales II, which begins October 16, investigates religious imagery from the same period. http://www.daheshmuseum.org __________________________________________________________________ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] Administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.uky.edu/archives/arlis-l.html Questions may be addressed to list owner (Kerri Scannell) at: [log in to unmask]
