SUMMARY:Personal Color Harmony and Frontiers of Impressionism
DESCRIPTION:All color fits into unique color harmony tones. Impressionist painters became hyper focused on the changing colors in nature and finding different harmonies in each season. The seasonal color theory used in Personal Color Analysis evolved from the color theories of the Impressionist movement. \nKerry Jones\, an international industry leader and innovator in personal color analysis based in Rochester\, NY\, utilizes the color science of the Impressionist painters and other artists in determining the most flattering colors for her clients to wear. Over the last two decades Kerry has consulted thousands of clients who are now radiating in their colors all over the globe. She also has created unique personal color analysis products to help people look and feel their best\, simply and naturally. \nDuring this lecture\, Kerry will share the color theories that she uses\, developed by artists\, and will show the link between personal color and the colors in nature and art\, using examples from our Frontiers of Impressionism exhibition. You may never see the colors in people\, the seasons\, or a work of art the same after understanding the connections. Kerry will also do a demonstration on how personal color analysis works with volunteers from the audience. \n\nTo submit a request for ASL interpretation\, please email access@mag.rochester.edu at least two weeks before the program. \nFor questions about this event\, please contact MAG Engagement Manager Jessica Gasbarre at jgasbarre@mag.rochester.edu. Ticket sales end on Thursday\, November 6\, at 6:30 pm. Ticket includes museum admission.

SUMMARY:Direct Impressions: Jim Mott in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:. . . the poetic dialogue—between me\, the paint\, the surroundings—that for me is what painting is all about.  —Jim Mott \nBest known for his Itinerant Artist Project (IAP)\, which put him on the road averaging about a month per year and took him to over 140 stops in thirty-nine states over the course of twenty years\, Rochester artist Jim Mott is undoubtedly an impressionist. He prefers capturing everyday moments—outdoors most of the time—and renders what he sees using stunning\, gestural brushwork. \nJoin Mott as he talks about his work and shares his insights on how making unmediated connections with subjects and people creates meaning. Nancy Norwood\, MAG’s Curator of European Art\, will moderate the dialogue. \nThis program is offered in conjunction with Frontiers of Impressionism: Paintings from the Worcester Art Museum. \nAbout the Artist\nNationally recognized artist Jim Mott sees landscape painting as part of “a way of making connections.” In addition to IAP\, he developed other projects such as ROC-ART\, and Landscape Lottery\, for which he would paint at locations that corresponded to randomly picked GPS coordinates. Yellow Trees with Gray Sky\, Bozeman MT (2008)\, one of his IAP paintings\, is in MAG’s collection. \nMott earned an MFA in painting and drawing from the University of Michigan School of Art. He has exhibited at venues such as Gelb Gallery\, Phillips Academy (Andover\, MA)\, Taylor Art Gallery\, Kimball Union Academy (Meriden\, NH)\, and numerous galleries in upstate New York. His media coverage includes the NBC TODAY Show\, Out of Bounds Radio Hour\, CBC Radio Q\, Wall Street Journal\, Art Business News\, and most recently\, Explore Art Magazine. \n\nTo submit a request for ASL interpretation\, please email access@mag.rochester.edu at least two weeks before the program.  \nFor questions about this program\, please contact Chiyo Ueyama at cueyama@mag.rochester.edu. Ticket sales end on Thursday\, November 13\, at 7:00 pm. Ticket includes museum admission. \n \nThis program is supported by the Robert Lehman Foundation. \nAdditional support is provided by the Anne Hayden McQuay Endowed Fund and the Arnold and Barbara Mackintosh Lecture Fund. \nImage credit: Jim Mott\, Gravel Lawns\, 2014
