Dangerous Women: Selections from the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art
at Rollins College Cornell Fine Arts Museum
Guided by Adrienne Lee
Tuesday, October 30, 10:30 am – 1:30 pm
Meet up at the Cornell Museum www.rollins.edu/cornell-fine-arts-museum/ with other art lovers to see an exhibition of Dangerous Women in art. The exhibition is comprised of pieces from the Ringling Museum of Art.
The group will be guided by artist-lecturer Adrienne Lee and will go out for “dutch” lunch in Winter Park after the tour.
Dangerous Women is a partnership among the Ringling Museum of Art (Florida State University), the Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum (Florida International University) and the Cornell Museum (Rollins College). The exhibition, while organized by the Ringling, appears only at the Frost and the Cornell Museum. It is accompanied by a catalogue published by Scala Arts Publishers.The biblical femmes fatales depicted in the collection—from Judith and Esther to Salome and Mary Magdalene and from Bathsheba to Potiphar’s Wife, to name but a few— shaped biblical history. Women of the Bible were often depicted by Renaissance and Baroque artists simply as an excuse for presenting sensuous female nudes. Other times, however, they were portrayed for the drama or moral messages conveyed by their stories. Paintings by artists such as Pietro da Cortona, Fede Galizia, Pordenone, Giovanni Andrea Sirani, and Francesco del Cairo are accompanied by Old Master prints and drawings, including Jan Saenredam’s series entitled Famous Women of the New Testament.
This event is FREE for WGAA Members. $10 for non-members. Registration is required. Space is limited to 15.
What People Are Saying about Adrienne Lee
Adrienne is a delight. You can tell Adrienne loves art history and it comes through in her presentations. She makes it fun and interesting, never a dull moment. I really enjoyed the Frida Kahlo presentation. JC 4-1-17
I can honestly say I have not enjoyed an art lecture nor art lecturer as much since seeing videos of Rosamond Bernier at the Orlando Museum of Art. Now we have Adrienne Lee to carry on in this fine tradition of informing and entertaining. LL 3-27-17
I thoroughly enjoyed Adrienne Lee’s lectures on Frida Kahlo; they were educational, entertaining and thought-provoking. I look forward to attending the exhibit at the Dali on Friday armed with all this information and insight. SS 3-27-17
Adrienne is a masterful, knowledgeable,engaging lecturer whose passion for the subject shined throughout the lecture. You are lucky to have someone of her caliber at your fine establishment. SG 3-27-17
Adrienne Lee lectures with authority and wit! She has obviously delved deeply into the subject at hand to be able to give a 90 minute detailed lecture and field questions from the audience without a pause. Her delivery of facts and references is flawless…amazing. CP 3-26-17
