Madam Van Nulandt passes her time taking expensive painting lessons from a local master\, Rembrandt van Rijn\, and when Catrin takes up a brush to finish some of her mistress’s work\, Rembrandt realizes the maid has genuine talent\, and encourages her to continue. When a figure from her past threatens her new life\, Catrin flees to the smaller city of Delft. There\, her gift as a painter earns her a chance to earn a living painting pottery at a local workshop. Her talent revolutionizes the industry\, but when tragedy strikes\, Catrin must decide whether to defend her newfound independence\, or return to the village that she’d fled. \nBOOK DISCUSSION with a short CURATORIAL PROGRAM led by Mel Buchanan\, RosaMary Curator of Decorative Arts and Design | TUESDAY\, MARCH 30\, 12 pm

With the admonition to “write this down\,” Williams began to describe how slaves made coded quilts and used them to navigate their escape on the Underground Railroad. During the three years it took for Williams’s narrative to unfold—and as the friendship and trust between the two women grew—Tobin enlisted New Orleans native Raymond Dobard\, Ph.D.\, an art history professor and well-known African American quilter\, to help unravel the mystery.  \nTUESDAY\, MARCH 24\, 12 – 1 pm | BOOK DISCUSSION GROUP

He builds for them a home to embody their exuberant faith in the future\, and the Landauer House becomes an instant masterpiece. The honesty and idealism of 1930 quickly evaporate with the onset of World War II\, and the marriage also shows signs of strain. This family must leave their old life behind\, but the house’s story is far from over. As it passes from hand to hand\, from Czech to Russian\, both the best and the worst of the history of Eastern Europe becomes embodied and perhaps emboldened within the beautiful and austere surfaces and planes of the carefully designed house. \nFRIDAY\, FEBRUARY 28\, 12 – 1 pm | BOOK DISCUSSION GROUP

It’s 1838\, and Britain is set on maintaining the opium trade between India and China as a buttress of its economic\, political and cultural power. Ghosh orchestrates his polyphonic saga with a composer’s fine touch. He lays out multiple narrative lines\, initially separate\, that eventually conjoin on the Ibis\, a schooner bound from Calcutta to China across the much-feared “Black Water.”…The density of settings\, from rural India to teeming Calcutta to the Sudder Opium Factory\, is historically convincing\, and the author pays close attention to variations in speech\, from the clipped formality of the educated class to a patois (“the kubber is that his cuzzanah is running out”) that definitely requires the glossary that Ghosh provides. —Kirkus Reviews \nFriday\, November 8\, 12 – 1 p.m. | Curatorial Program with Lisa Rotondo-McCord\, Deputy Director for Curatorial Affairs/Curator of Asian Art \nTuesday\, November 19\, 12 – 1 p.m. | Book Discussion Group

It’s 1838\, and Britain is set on maintaining the opium trade between India and China as a buttress of its economic\, political and cultural power. Ghosh orchestrates his polyphonic saga with a composer’s fine touch. He lays out multiple narrative lines\, initially separate\, that eventually conjoin on the Ibis\, a schooner bound from Calcutta to China across the much-feared “Black Water.”…The density of settings\, from rural India to teeming Calcutta to the Sudder Opium Factory\, is historically convincing\, and the author pays close attention to variations in speech\, from the clipped formality of the educated class to a patois (“the kubber is that his cuzzanah is running out”) that definitely requires the glossary that Ghosh provides. —Kirkus Reviews \nFriday\, November 8\, 12 – 1 p.m. | Curatorial Program with Lisa Rotondo-McCord\, Deputy Director for Curatorial Affairs/Curator of Asian Art \nTuesday\, November 19\, 12 – 1 p.m. | Book Discussion Group

But the press has sharply criticized her illustrations for her sister’s book. Louisa\, meanwhile\, sees May as a high-spirited dilettante\, dedicated to having fun. Determined to prove Louisa wrong\, May dodges a serious suitor and signs up for rigorous art classes\, first in Boston\, then in Europe\, where she mingles with other artists (some real\, like Mary Cassatt\, others fictional or composites). Slowly\, her skill and confidence grow … Hooper is especially good at depicting the complicated blend of devotion and jealousy so common among siblings. —Kirkus Review \nTuesday\, June 11\, 12 – 1 p.m. | Book Discussion Group\nFriday\, June 28\, 11:30 a.m. – 2 p.m. | New Books Potluck Lunch \n\nBring food and set up at 11:30 a.m.\nDiscuss books and eat at 12 p.m.
