Phyllis Wheatley’s "Poems on Various Subjects''; a silhouette attributed to Moses Williams who embroidered a sketch of a bald eagle drawn by an unnamed Featured is a digital reproduction of an 1855 edition of the Provincial Freeman newspaper containing a farewell from Mary Ann Shadd the first female African American newspaper publisher “I want people to dig deeper into the stories of these and other transformative figures,” says Square “I want visitors to feel the dynamism and vitality of African American history and culture which is a story that’s layered and constantly evolving.” The first item Square selected to exhibit is a modest iron trivet from 1770–1800 He instantly recognized the shape as a Sankofa Sankofa translates to “go back and get it.” The Sankofa repeats in the gallery design as a reminder to look to the past in order to move forward An iPad that encourages exploration of the Colored Conventions Project is the only modern element included Square says the choice to omit contemporary African American art is his curatorial intervention “I wanted historical objects themselves and my interpretation of them to serve as an engine for dialogue,” he explains “These pieces speak volumes when you take the time to listen.” Square has taken something almost unknown and is making it known and often obscure but important stories of these objects It is a testament to the depth and breadth of the Winterthur collection which holds the power to represent many histories often unrecognized or previously untold "Almost Unknown: Continue the Journey," a guided house tour Spring theater: The Milton Theatre, already core to community, looks to nurture next generation of artists Painting off the news cycle: Viral news moments are captured in Delaware man's tiny artwork The "Looking Back to the Future: Realizing “The Afric-American Picture Gallery” symposium is Nov curator of "Mining the Museum,'' the seminal 1992 exhibition at what is now the Maryland Center for History and Culture Learn more about the "Almost Unknown'' exhibition and symposium at winterthur.org McGraw Director of Collections at Winterthur Museum In October, I was thrilled to join Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library as the chief development officer I grew up here and received my master of arts degree in art history and museum studies from the University of Delaware I also began my development career in museums so this is both a personal and professional homecoming And what a wonderful time of the year to have returned I’m looking forward to enjoying the magical displays that so many of our local cultural organizations offer visitors during the holidays Winterthur is one of five former du Pont estates that enrich our region with world-class museums and gardens Our sister institutions include Hagley Museum & Library and Longwood Gardens – each unique and an important part of the Brandywine Valley’s history We are fortunate to have so many cultural resources and beautiful places nearby Merry Museums: Want to feel festive?

Winterthur Museum Gardens and Library, 5105 Kennett Pike, near Centreville; 800-448-3883; winterthur.org With some 90,000 objects - some dating back to the mid 17th Century - Winterthur Museum and Library is a repository for the artifacts of the nation’s past Taking the stage Sunday are six college students from across the country And while Winterthur is commonly associated with great American art says the museum has a long association with music “Winterthur has a really amazing history with music," Lynch said and Ruth DuPont who was Henry Francis Dupont's wife - she was actually a classically trained pianist and she was a composer.” The Ruth Wales du Pont Collegiate Composition Competition was open to college students from around the US six finalists in classical and pop music were chosen and their works will be heard on Sunday a panel of judges and the concert audience will vote on the best piece of new music Performing the music will be the professional musicians of the American Pops Orchestra Luke Frazier is the orchestra’s founder and music director “I started thinking about how can we honor her legacy and honor her excellence while also staying true to our mission of providing more access points for people in the orchestra world," Frazier said "And so Winterthur partnered with us and we created this way to kind of honor her legacy while also providing the chance for young composers to show off their work.” One of those young composers who made it through the audition process is a student at UD majoring in music composition and flute performance and it so happened that after we selected our finalists without knowing we had picked an outstanding student from University of Delaware So we're so happy to have him in the competition alongside the five other competitors.” In addition to hosting the contest and concert Winterthur also provided the impetus for each work “Each of the composers has selected something from Winterthur as inspiration which is perfect because inspiration is part of what we do here at Winterthur," Lynch said It’s easy to think about works like those in Winterthur’s collection as frozen in time but Lynch says the process of curating and maintaining the collection is one of constant reinterpretation of the objects and their significance through the lens of the times The composition competition is one way to do that “We constantly have people interpreting these centuries centuries old objects in new ways," Lynch said classical music is also evolving and growing “I think all too often people think that classical music stopped many many years ago and that it isn't a living and breathing thing," he said "And I think also that we are able to provide the chance to say no That means the works of art in the Winterthur will have another “There's something really beautiful about thinking that these objects now have this as part of their story that they're being interpreted musically as part of their life," says Lynch Delaware Public Media's arts coverage is made possible, in part, by support from the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency dedicated to nurturing and supporting the arts in Delaware, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts.

livid pinks enrobed in pearlescent skin loom out of the darkness as if Goya is trying to isolate something essential about our appetites this painting has the character of a manifesto; the salmon “liberated from its context and lent heroic status,” is utterly magnificent To a modern convenience store/ sushi belt audience for how it captures a kind of forgotten reverence for the source: a living thing caught A showcase of Goya’s mastery of colour and form this fleshy painting carries the hallmarks of his broader oeuvre which often engaged with themes of mortality and the passage of time This subject – a fish that leaps effortlessly and was once considered the holder of all mysterious knowledge by the Celts – is the perfect entrée to a cross-cultural The exhibition Goya to Impressionism: Masterpieces from the Oskar Reinhart Collection will open with this and a selection of major paintings by artists who preceded the Impressionists: Géricault’s moving A Man Suffering from Delusions of Military Rank (c.1819-22) and Courbet’s provocative The Hammock (1844) we wanted to do justice to Reinhart’s collection but also set up some interesting aesthetic and thematic connections with the works held at the Courtauld” of how flagrant and viscous the flesh appears “the work does resonate with Manet not in the least for his love of Spanish art and culture.” Moreover a genre of radical importance to the Post Impressionists – think Cezanne’s apples or ‘Still Life with a Plate of Peaches’  We are standing in the collector’s former home carefully curated with his most delicious bijou works “One expects the Still Life to depict objects as they are the materialisation of something,” says Richter “This work shows the dematerialisation of something; it has been a salmon but now it is slices of flesh (which will be cooked).” It is also emblematic of Reinhart’s great appetite for acquiring and a reminder that every collection is defined by peculiar and often inexplicable tastes cultivated over a lifetime (both Reinhart and Courtauld were contemporaries) It is an unforgettable image; one I am seeing for the first time because since its purchase Only because the Oskar Reinhart Collection “Am Römerholz” is closing for renovations can this and a selection of key masterpieces travel to London for when Reinhart bequeathed the entirety of his collection to the Swiss Confederation Federal Office of Culture (Bundesamt für Kultur he stipulated the works must always remain together yet it holds a powerful allure to the art-loving pilgrim collector on par with Fondation Maeght in the South of France Overlooking a magnificently landscaped garden (where you can picnic in the summer) which the collector built to house all his works boasting several important museums that connect fundamentally to this funded an entire wing of Winterthur’s new art museum and bequeathed his entire collection to be displayed there who in his own lifetime donated a further 600 works to these later noted that ‘to be able to grow up among artists and to be educated by them to look – that was the great stroke of luck of my youth.’ Art history could be viewed as an evolving conversation (explicit or implied) between artist and their works Reinhart began building his own collection in the 1910s after travelling throughout Europe Reinhart was introduced to a collection of French Impressionism assembled by Hugo von Tschudi the director of the National Gallery of Berlin The works were displayed there along with the monumental three-volume book Entwickelungsgeschichte der modernen Kunst: Vergleichende Betrachtung der bildenden Künste als Beitrag zu einer neuen Aesthetik (Modern Art: Being a Contribution to a New System of Aesthetics; 1904) written by the German art historian Julius Meier-Graefe This book would prove seminal in shaping his collection; in 1924 Reinhart withdrew from the family firm to devote himself fully to its expansion he had assembled the majority of his holdings: a group of about 125 paintings Although he amassed a well-regarded collection of works by Old Masters and Northern Renaissance painters including the transcendent ‘Adoration of the Magi in the Snow’ (1563) his tastes leaned toward French modern art Reinhart’s taste for a certain type of painterly expression led the conversation between works in his collection who enjoyed relationships with living artists this fourth son was interested in the painting (almost exclusively purchased on the secondary market) He favoured a distinct painterly lexicon – the innovative use of colour and light – and considered Impressionism the most important artistic achievement of all time This determined his perspective on Old Master pictures: rather than seeing them as manifestations of their time his acquisition strategy was to highlight them as precursors of modern art and illustrations of a historical development that culminated in Impressionism “In seeking out correspondences between historical and modern art he made Impressionism the lodestar of all painting,” says Dr Wright “His wide-ranging collection that includes various styles can be viewed as an attempt to reveal what he considered the quintessence of art.” This is evidenced in the careful arrangement of works in his picture gallery Connected to the villa by a lucent marble hallway his once private museum is a showcase of the correspondences of form and colour across time This spectacular mise en scène – now more common in major institutions – allows the viewer to experience painting in purely aesthetic terms whilst reinforcing the collector’s aesthetic what we see not only informs what we appreciate but fundamentally alters our tastes By extension – teaching institutions such as the Courtauld produce historians with a very specific rapport with the history of art – hence collaborations like this exhibition can be so rewarding ‘The Evolution of a Collector: Oskar Reinhart’s Path to Impressionism’ Katja Baumhoff explains “Oskar Reinhart and Samuel Courtauld – who met in London in 1932 – both formed the greater part of their collections in the 1920s and the similarities in their taste is immediately apparent: the centrality of Cezanne for example; the exceptionally important autobiographical Arles works by Van Gogh; the two celebrated and closely related café-concert scenes by Manet; the parallel works by Toulouse-Lautrec Both collectors more or less concluded their chronologies with single 1901 Blue-period paintings by Picasso with Reinhart perhaps leaning more to the intellectual and artistic world of Berlin of Hugo von Tschudi and Julius Meier-Graefe and Courtauld to Paris and the few proponents of modern French art in Britain.” Reinhart continued to refine his two large collections until the end of his life “only found its way to Winterthur in 1953 after having been on his wish list for over thirty years.” Of the many reasons to visit the Courtauld for this collaborative exhibition including the chance to see La Clownesse Cha-U-Ka-O in Moulin Rouge by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec; Reading Girl perhaps the most inspiring is how it will activate a very personal conversation with your own favourite works Not only did both collectors share a common love for Impressionism each believed passionately in the importance of art for the common good – which is why we are able to fully appreciate these extraordinary masterpieces in the flesh It is a wonderful exhibition to visit alone or with a friend who will likely contribute a different point of view;

Brian Keller made his first appearance on Saturday evening - and it didn't last long. Brian Keller, the former "most famous inmate in Switzerland", has won his first official boxing match. In Winterthur on Saturday evening, he won against Frenchman Claude Wilfried in front of around 800 martial arts fans. The matter was quickly decided: Keller defeated his opponent after just 38 seconds. Keller was the stronger and more powerful fighter right from the start. However, Wilfried is not a boxer, but a judoka. He therefore has little experience in the boxing ring. Keller told the Keystone-SDA news agency that he was satisfied with his performance. But he could do even better. "I need to box more calmly, not so street style." He will make his next appearance in a ring in three weeks' time. He fought in specially made shorts with the Zurich coat of arms and the flag of Cameroon, his mother's home country. His father and one of his lawyers were among those sitting in the audience. Keller has been concentrating on his career as a professional boxer since his release from prison in November 2023 - apart from a brief interruption due to a new incarceration. However, he does not yet have a Swiss professional license due to his criminal past. Shaqiri himself is modest. Of course, it was a good game for him personally. But most of all the team was outstanding. Man of the match no longer knows exactly when or if he has ever been involved in five goals. With his appearance, the 33-year-old confirms what has been seen in recent weeks. Shaqiri seems to have finally managed to reach his form after poor performances at the beginning. After the assist against Young Boys and the good game against St. Gallen weeks ago, the game against Winterthur is the most important moment. The fact that Basel crowd favorite scored his first Super League goal since 2012 at the Schutzenwiese could be a coincidence. Or "Winit Arena" just brings luck to Basel players. Former striker Thierno Barry scored a brace in January and broke through after a slow start. After that performance, Barry grew up. Will Shaqiri do the same as Barry? Very accessible. "I don't think I'm 100 percent yet," he says. "On the way to the bus, the former Switzerland star is stopped by about 50 Winterthur spectators. Many of them want autographs. Shaqiri tries to fulfill everyone's wishes - as he has done before on the pitch. The translation of contents into other languages ​​is done automatically and there may be errors!
