Study Day at Getty and LACMA
Thursday, May 6
Join Timken director Dr. John Wilson and
fellow Friends of the Timken to see three acclaimed
exhibitions: Leonardo da Vinci and the Art
of Sculpture: Inspiration and Invention at the J. Paul
Getty Museum, and, at LACMA, American Stories:
Paintings of Everyday Life, 1765-1915 and Renoir in the
20th Century. Leonardo da Vinci and the Art of Sculpture
explores Leonardo's ambitious drawings for huge equestrian
sculpture projects that were never completed. The master's
original drawings are exhibited side by side with important
sculptures by artists who inspired Leonardo that have never
been seen outside of Italy. At LACMA, American Stories
surveys some of the finest American genre subjects - scenes
of family life and courting, work and leisure, comic mishaps
and disasters - by many of the most familiar names in
American art. Renoir in the 20th Century examines
the artist's most fertile period with some of the most
iconic images created by this legend of
Impressionism.
