Do you love modern art or want to know more about its origins? Until September 20, the Milwaukee Art Museum is hosting a special exhibition of 68 masterpieces from The Albright-Knox Gallery in Buffalo, NY, one of the most cohesive and beautiful surveys of art that constantly pushed against the past and towards the invention of the new.<br />
<br />
The artists represented in the Milwaukee show include Vincent van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, Jackson Pollock, Amedeo Modigliani and others; many of their works in this exhibit have never before traveled to the Midwest.<br />
<br />
Join us <b>here at the library on Tuesday, July 21 from 7 - 9 pm</b> when art historian Jeff Mishur will present a slide lecture about the exhibit. If you are planning a trip to Milwaukee to see the paintings, you'll find this an invaluable preview!Delia Floreshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10434118688064076001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35749648.post-597753405756482722015-07-14T10:50:00.000-05:002015-07-14T10:50:00.299-05:00Monday Night at the Movies: Gett: The Trial of Viviane Amsalem<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Join us on <b>Monday, July 20 at 1 pm and 7 pm</b> for our Monday Night (and afternoon) at the Movies. The film is <i>Gett: The Trial of Viviane Amsalem</i>.<br />
<br />
Writer and director Ronit Elkmbetz stars as an Israeli woman attempting to divorce her manipulative husband in a religious legal system wherein only rabbis can grant a <i>gett</i>, the dissolution of a marriage - and then - only with a husband's consent.<br />
<br />
<i>Gett</i> has been praised by audiences and critics alike as a brilliantly acted, tightly wound drama. John Anderson of <i>Newday</i> called <i>Gett</i>, "...suspenseful, wonderfully acted, emotionally jarring." The film is 115 minutes long and is unrated.Delia Floreshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10434118688064076001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35749648.post-80286352743259288152015-07-09T12:08:00.000-05:002015-07-09T12:08:12.436-05:00Giants in the Park: Part 2<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After years of preparation, The Field Museum will open its Cyrus Tang Hall of China on June 24. Before you visit this major permanent exhibit, get your bearings at our special presentation on <b>Monday, June, 29</b> by the Field's Lisa C. Niziolek, a postdoctoral fellow in East Asian anthropology and a member of the curatorial team. <b>The program begins at 7:30 p.m.</b><br />
<br />
Dr. Niziolek will guide us through examples of the ceramics, bronzes, textiles, sculptures, paintings, and puppets showcased in the 6,000 square foot exhibit, including artifacts recovered from the 800-year old Java Sea Shipwreck.<br />
<br />
Please join us for a fascinating look at a culture filled with deep traditions and dynamic change. As the<i> Chicago Sun-Times</i> notes, "As China asserts itself on the world stage, it is easy to reduce this ancient nation to sound bites and headlines, subsuming its history in discussions of global economic and world politics - but the Cyrus Tang Hall of China helps recalibrate our understanding of its rich culture."<br />
<br />
Dr. Niziolek's talk is part of our Visiting Professor series, sponsored by the Friends of the Glencoe Public Library.Delia Floreshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10434118688064076001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35749648.post-64222228391152245012015-06-25T18:32:00.000-05:002015-06-25T18:32:03.319-05:00Visit us at the Glencoe Sidewalk Sale<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Join us <b>Tues, June 16, from 7:30 to 9:00 pm</b> for Part One of <i><b>Giants in the Park</b></i>, a virtual tour of the bronze giants which inhabit Lincoln Park, Chicago's largest and most historic park.<br />
<br />
Among those who statues preside over the park are: Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, Robert de La Salle, John Peter Altged, General Philip Sheridan, William Shakespeare, and Johann von Goethe. The celebrated sculptors and architects involved include Augustus Saint-Gaudens and Stanford White.<br />
<br />
Our tour guide is Krista August, who will discuss the stories and history behind each portrait statue, the monuments than have gone missing, and salient park and city history. For seven years Ms. August volunteered for the Chicago Architecture Foundation and led walking tours of the city's historic and modern skyscrapers. She is a member of the Chicago Tour-Guide Professionals Association.<br />
<br />
Ms. August's book, <i>Giants in the Park,</i> was named a Book of the Year by the Chicago Writers Association and recognized with a Certificate of Excellence by the Illinois State Historical Society. Rick Kogan of WGN radio called <i>Giants in the Park,</i> "an essential item for any Chicago lover's bookshelf."<br />
<br />
Part 2 will continue the tour and take place on July 14.<br />

The openings of literary works are critical. They have one shot to arrest, engage, pique interest and begin to teach or have a reader discover how to read them. Ms. Traudt will briefly explore the gripping openings of four revelatory works: <i>Moby Dick,</i> <i>A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Ma</i>n, <i>The Sound and the Fury,</i> and <i>The Color Purple.</i> <br />

Congratulations! You’ve been accepted into college. The hard part’s over, right? We hope so! But for some students, the first semester away from home can be a rude awakening. New relationships, heightened academic expectations - and homesickness - all can be tough to negotiate.<br />
<br />
So how can you make the most of your freshman year? Join us Thursday, May 14 from 7:30 to 8:30 pm to find out. Hanna Stotland, a college admissions consultant and frequent speaker here at the library, will offer advice on how to have a great experience across your academic, social, and residential life during your first year - and throughout college.<br />
<br />
