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).

Da Vinci’s interests were even more divergent than previously known\, and Isaacson’s empathetic and deeply researched portrait illustrates how da Vinci willed himself to genius through endless curiosity and a creativity that sometimes crossed over into fantasy. Much like Isaacson’s previous subjects of Ben Franklin and Steve Jobs\, da Vinci was a polymath—he was passionate about art\, science\, nature\, and technology\, and he never stopped questioning\, practicing\, or experimenting. Isaacson points out that this is a particular form of genius that can teach us how to live our own lives. \nWednesday\, May 1\, 12 – 1 p.m. | Curatorial Program with Tracy Kennan\, Curator of Education\, who will lead a lesson on color. \nThursday\, May 16\, 12 – 1 p.m. | Book Discussion Group

Would others see what he saw? With only three or four known images of the legendary blues guitarist in existence\, this single picture was certainly an exceptional link to the past. \nThursday\, April 11\, 12 – 1 p.m. | Curatorial Program with Brian Piper\, Andrew W.

Would others see what he saw? With only three or four known images of the legendary blues guitarist in existence\, this single picture was certainly an exceptional link to the past. \nThursday\, April 11\, 12 – 1 p.m. | Curatorial Program with Brian Piper\, Andrew W.

ISBN: 978-0940322653 \nWhen Madame de Pompadour became the mistress of Louis XV\, no one expected her to retain his affections for long. A member of the bourgeoisie rather than an aristocrat\, she was physically too cold for the carnal Bourbon king\, and had so many enemies that she could not travel publicly without risking a pelting of mud and stones. History has loved her little better. Nancy Mitford’s delightfully candid biography recreates the spirit of eighteenth-century Versailles with its love of pleasure and treachery. We learn that the Queen was a “bore\,” the Dauphin a “prig\,” and see France increasingly overcome with class conflict. With a fiction writer’s felicity\, Mitford restores the royal mistress and celebrates her as a survivor\, unsurpassed in “the art of living\,” who reigned as the most powerful woman in France for nearly twenty years. \nThursday\, November 15\, 12 – 1 pm | Book Discussion Group
