What is the mood between these two figures? 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Check back every Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. for more #VirtualSDMAplus online experiences. ⠀ "I still like the pairing I did back in February with this sonnet and "Boy and Girl in a Garden" by Paul Wonner. Because the face of the girl is obscured and the guy's back is to us, the landscape stark, there are a number of possible interpretations and quite a bit of mystery. Perhaps they are breaking up—lots of sonnets about that! But the girl seems to be holding a bouquet of flowers, so perhaps the boy is trying to win her back; perhaps he is trying to convince her that he understands what true and lasting love is all about....which brings me to Sonnet 116."—Susan Benninghoff ⠀ Virtual SDMA+ The San Diego Shakespeare Society is a series of video performances featuring monologues from great works of Shakespeare in response to selections from the #SDMAcollection, premiering every other Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. ⠀ #TheSanDiegoMuseumofArt traditionally works with @sandiegoshakespeare throughout the year featuring seasonal #SDMA ArtStops.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show with Virtual SDMA + Art of Elan! 🎻🖼️ ⠀ Watch and listen to #Violinist Keir GoGwilt and #Bassist Kyle Motl perform an #originalcomposition in response to "Doors I" by Claudia Fernández.⠀ ⠀ "I like the idea of framing doors. I was drawn to the patterns, which are simple and bold, and which establish very different relationships along this 4x2 grid. There's symmetry, contrast, inversion, and reflection. ⠀ ⠀ Bassist Kyle Motl and I have written and recorded a few miniature pieces to accompany these doors. The doors are already quite musical, in terms of their patterning and arrangement. We've written a couple of musical lines, which we then inverted, reflected, and contrasted. It's the aural analogue to the visual operation we see in this image."—Keir GoGwilt⠀ ⠀ Keir GoGwilt is a violinist, writer, and musicologist, whose work spans a range of critical and creative disciplines. As a violinist he has been described as a "formidable performer" (New York Times) noted for his "evocative sound" (London Jazz News), "keen musical intellect" (The Wire), and "finger-busting virtuosity" (San Diego Union Tribune). He is a founding member of the interdisciplinary performing arts company, AMOC, and he co-composes, improvises, and performs music with bassist Kyle Motl as part of their duo, Treesearch.⠀ ⠀ GoGwilt studied literature at Harvard University, where he was awarded the Louis Sudler Prize in the Arts, and is a PhD candidate in Music at UC San Diego. His research shows how methods of musical instrument instruction have shaped tenets of musical aesthetics usually attributed to 19th-century theorists and composers.⠀ ⠀ "Doors I" by Claudia Fernández is composed from a photographic archive of typologies of metal garage doors and fences widely used in middle-class domestic architecture throughout Mexico, Claudia Fernández's diptych, Doors I and II, remixes these urban samples into formal arrangements of geometric lines and shapes.

"Flin Flon VIII" by Frank Stella

Join John Digesare, Senior Registrar, as he shares the story of "Flin Flon VIII" by Frank Stella, a leading figure in American Abstraction. Enjoy this short introductory video on "Flin Flon VIII" and watch and explore all 28 videos about Museum collection highlights on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/user/SanDiegoMuseumofArt Stella has famously said of his art that “what you see is what you see,” a statement so often repeated that it is both defining and limiting. Beyond what you see, Stella pioneered a distinctive form of abstraction that deftly weaves painting and sculpture and exhibits an architectural sensibility. He is one of the most significant living artists and the only living artist to have two retrospectives at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Flin Flon VIII relates to the artist’s Protractor Series, as evidenced by the flurry of colorful angular shapes evocative of the small tool. The title of this painting comes from a small town located on the border of Saskatchewan and Manitoba, Canada. In this square canvas, Stella explores many of the ideas on the potential of form, color, and scale that he was experimenting with in his irregularly shaped canvases. Featured: Frank Stella.

Virtual SDMA + San Diego Shakespeare Society | Ashley Engelman, King John

⁣"This painting really spoke to me for a few different reasons—the first of which being that in this speech, Lewis the Dauphin is speaking to Cardinal Pandulph. St. Jerome is dressed in the traditional garb of a cardinal and is pointing off-frame, which gave me the impression of the Cardinal asking Lewis to go back home to France. I also loved the lion staring up at St. Jerome, as Lewis has always felt very predatory to me in this speech."⠀ —Ashley Engelman⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #VirtualSDMA+ The San Diego Shakespeare Society 🎭 is a series of video performances featuring monologues from great works of Shakespeare 📜 in response to selections 🖼️ from the #SDMAcollection, premiering every other Tuesday at 6:00 p.m.⠀ ⠀⠀ The #SanDiegoMuseumofArt traditionally works with The San Diego Shakespeare Society throughout the year featuring seasonal #SDMA ArtStops.

Virtual SDMA + Art of Elan | Chanson dans la nuit performed by Julie Smith Phillips, harp

'I have chosen to pair "Charles Reiffel's painting "In the San Felipe Valley" with the evocative work "Chanson dans la nuit" or "Song of the Night" by Carlos Salzedo. I've chosen to pair these two works because I feel that there is a similar scenic energy between them. There is clarity in the subject matter but also a sense of wonder about what lies in the shadows, or just around the bend. Although it is not a night image, nightfall is coming soon and there is magic in the air, something I love about the writing in "Chanson dans la nuit." Full of atmosphere and with the use of special effects on the harp, Salzedo brings out so many unusual colors on the instrument that one doesn't normally hear. There are moments of powerful boldness but also a sense of stillness and awe in both works. Both pieces remind me of the beauty and the vast landscape that we get to enjoy here on Earth. Interestingly, they were both also created in the same year, 1927. '—Julie Smith Phillips, harp 🎵 Principal Harpist of the San Diego Symphony since 2007, Julie Smith Phillips is one of the most prominent young harpists today, performing as both an orchestral musician and concert artist. #Virtual SDMA+ Art of Elan is a series of short online experiences pairing The San Diego Museum of Art permanent collection with the thoughtfully curated music of Art of Elan.

Virtual SDMA+ Art of Elan | Demarre McGill, flute – "Notre Dame" by Maximilien Luce (ca. 1900)

'I was inspired to pair "Notre Dame" by Maximilien Luce and Claude Debussy's "Syrinx" because they both transcend the subject matters that inspired them. The viewer of this painting doesn't have to actually be familiar with the magnificent Notre Dame to appreciate the beauty of this painting and in Debussy's piece, one doesn't have to be familiar with the actual story of the work to appreciate this beautiful example of Impressionism in music.' —Demarre McGill Trained as a printmaker, Maximilien Luce was first noted as a painter by the critic Félix Fénéon, who coined the term Neo-Impressionism to describe a new school of landscape painting based on “scientific” principles of color, in contrast to #Impressionism’s largely instinctive attempt to capture the fleeting and spontaneous effects of light. Like his fellow Neo-Impressionists Seurat and Signac, Luce experimented with the separation of colors into individual, contrasting dots on the canvas. #VirtualSDMA+ Art of Elan are a series of online experiences pairing The San Diego Museum of Art permanent collection with the thoughtfully curated music of Art of Elan.

Virtual SDMA + Art of Elan | Kate Hatmaker, Violin – "Virgin and Child with Saint John" by Francisco de Zurbarán (1658)

"This painting hangs in Gallery 16, where Art of Elan normally performs, and that particular gallery houses a lot of older paintings. I always find it to be a place of quiet contemplation, which I am missing desperately right now amidst the chaos of the world. The little-known Baroque composer Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber wrote a series of "Mystery Sonatas" for solo violin, each depicting a different part of the rosary, along with a closing Passacaglia that's been nicknamed "The Guardian Angel." I find this Passacaglia to be incredibly calming, meditative, almost hypnotic. I decided to play an abridged version for this virtual series to really illuminate the contemplative quality of Zurbaran’s painting. They were both created within 20 years of each other so I thought it would be a good match."

A Vase of Flowers

We loved our #VirtualBouquet 💐 from the @timkenmuseumofart so much we decided to return the favor to our beloved neighbors and institutions in #BalboaPark! Dear San Diego Natural History Museum, San Diego Art Institute, Museum of Photographic Arts, and Sandiegozoo. May you enjoy this #MuseumBouquet 🌼 as much as we do. Like Rembrandt, who also lived in the Netherlands during the 17th century, Rachel Ruysch had a long, successful career. Hailed as one of the greatest flower painters 👩🏼‍🎨 of her time, she is credited with creating a unique style of still-life painting 🎨. She developed her skill and keen eye for botanical rendering throughout her childhood. Her father, Frederik Ruysch, was a scientist and professor of anatomy and botany, whose collection of rare natural history specimens Rachel helped catalogue. In the Netherlands at this time, flowers were prized and became status symbols for the wealthy. Plants were previously valued almost exclusively for their use as herbs or medicine, but flowers began to be appreciated simply for their beauty and fragrance. Featured: Rachel Ruysch (AKA Rachel Ruysch; Mrs. Juriaen Pool). "A Vase of Flowers," 1689. Oil on canvas. Museum purchase with funds from the Gerald and Inez Grant Parker Foundation. 1979.25. #museum #artmuseum #mopa #SDAI #sandiegozoo #thenat #SDMA #SDMAYourWay #SDMAVirtual #WomenArtist #womenwhopaint
