Wednesdays@2: Mozart to Matisse—Song of the Lark & the Art of Jules Breton
May 24, 2023
2:00–3:00 PM
Location: CMA
This program has been rescheduled from its original date of May 10.
Jules Breton, nineteenth-century chronicler of rural France, was one of Vincent Van Gogh’s favorite artists. Breton’s painting The Song of the Lark, picturing a young peasant girl walking through a field at sunrise, was declared “the most popular painting in America” according to a poll taken in 1934. A discussion of this and other works by Breton will be followed by music that complements the artist’s evocative imagery.
Tickets are $5 for members and $20 for nonmembers.
