SUMMARY:Exhibition On Screen: Michelangelo -Love and Death
DESCRIPTION:CLICK HERE FOR TICKETS\nThe spectacular sculptures and paintings of Michelangelo seem so familiar to us\, but what do we really know about this Renaissance giant? Michelangelo’s genius is evident in everything he touched. Beautiful and diverse works such as the towering statue of David\, the moving Pietà in the Papal Basilica of St. Peter and his tour-de-force\, the Sistine Chapel ceiling\, still leave us breathless today. \nSpanning his 88 years\, Michelangelo – Love and Death takes a cinematic journey through the print and drawing rooms of Europe through the great chapels and museums of Florence\, Rome and the Vatican to seek out a deeper understanding of this legendary figure’s tempestuous life\, his relationship with his contemporaries and his incredible legacy. \nThrough expert commentary\, stunning visuals and Michelangelo’s own words\, this film takes a fresh look at a master artist whose life and genius are celebrated in every mark he made. Returning to cinemas to celebrate this iconic artist’s 550th birthday. \nSculptor\, painter\, architect\, poet\, genius – discover why Michelangelo is without a doubt one of the greatest artists of all time.  Directed by David Bickerstaff – Produced by Phil Grabsky.  Runtime 91 minutes. \n  \n5:00 – 6:30pm   Film\n6:30 – 7:00pm   Reception \n  \nAfter the film enjoy refreshments and post-film discussion while you take in the exhibit “Freedom” in our gallery.  Presented by Exhibition On Screen and sponsored by Friends of Franklin Park Arts Center.

SUMMARY:Exhibition On Screen: John Singer Sargent
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition On Screen presents another stunning art documentary film! \nJohn Singer Sargent is known as the greatest portrait artist of his era. What made his ‘swagger’ portraits remarkable was his power over his sitters\, what they wore and how they were presented to the audience. Through interviews with curators\, contemporary fashionistas and style influencers\, Exhibition on Screen’s film will examine how Sargent’s unique practice has influenced modern art\, culture and fashion. \nFilmed at the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston and the Tate Britain\, London\, the exhibition reveals Sargent’s power to express distinctive personalities\, power dynamics and gender identities during this fascinating period of cultural reinvention. Alongside 50 paintings by Sargent sit stunning items of clothing and accessories worn by his subjects\, drawing the audience into the artist’s studio. \nThe perfect film to see after the fashionable red carpet of the MET Gala in NYC. Sponsored by the Friends of Franklin Park Arts Center. All are welcome for a post-film reception in the lobby. Runtime: 90 minutes \nFilm:  5:00pm – 6:30 pm \nReception:  6:30-7:00pm \nCLICK HERE FOR TICKETS
