Art builds bridges; art connects. Join us as we explore how to think deeper by looking and reflecting upon some American late 19th-century still life paintings. Probe Martin Johnson Heade’s still life paintings, pondering the question: What’s surprising here? - and probe Raphaelle Peale’s still life paintings, pondering the question: How does the artist connect us to his still life paintings? Join us for this docent-led talk and explore how art builds bridges and connects us.

“Artists strive to express not just the anatomy of bodies but the
anatomy of the human condition and the universe that impinges upon
it.”
