David Dunlop Presents
The Imagination of DaVinci: Breaking the Code
Sunday, August 24, 5:30-7:30 p.m.
Free reception at Yester House Galleries;
free lecture in the Arkell Pavilion follows.
Southern Vermont Art Center, PO Box 617, Manchester, VT 05254
Phone: 802-362-1405
After an informal reception in Yester House’s Gallery I, August Exhibition artist and long-time SVAC workshop instructor, David Dunlop, will give a Power-point presentation in the Arkell Pavilion, entitled, The Imagination of DaVinci: Breaking the Code. A distinguished artist, art historian, teacher and the subject and host of the new PBS series, Landscapes through Time with David Dunlop, airing in June 2008, Dunlop will discuss ways in which the visual vocabulary of contemporary artists has been developed by the artistic, psychological, and optical discoveries of Leonardo. Instead of just seeing the great divide between contemporary and classical art, between art and science, Dunlop looks at the continuum between ways of seeing and discovering that affect us all, and inform our ways of looking at and defining great art.

Imagine the cerulean Bay of Poets lapping below your bedroom at a 4 star hotel on the Mediterranean coast of Italy. A stroll from your poolside breakfast brings you to antique fishing village, its storied medieval streets winding with curious shops and flowering vines. Sailboats and fishing boats slide by as you set up your easel. We travel by ferry to remote villages of the Cinque Terre National Park. David offers daily demonstrations in varied media on a range of themes. He leads photo walks to build a portfolio of pictures for future paintings and tutors students in taking professional quality photos with their digital cameras. In the evenings before dinner we gather for cocktails and a review of each day's adventure in painting.

If we don't see like a camera (and, we don't), then how do we see? How do we make images? How do we visualize? Here is an exploration mutating memories, changing self definitions, the myth of photoraphic memory, and an investigation into how much of our sight is biological and how much cultural? Do we learn to see like we learn to read? Can we transcend our own cultural vision to see more biologically or to see particularly (across cultures)? How does our own culture vision define us, construct us, and reconfigure our biological vision? What are we blind to? What have other cultures been blind to? What limits our vision?

How did the collective forces of Philosophy, Science, Psychology, Literature (especially Poetry) and Art combine in the later 19th century to invent modern art, especially as synthesized through the painters Delacroix, Monet, van Gogh and Cezanne? What caused massive cultural disbelief in existing aesthetic standards in later 19th Century? How were the new criteria set for the 20th and now 21st Century? What old standards do we still cling to? What are the standards we now embrace? What qualities of personality, forces of history, developments of science and quirks of circumstance combined to give us modern art? Is there an analogous movement today with a new definition of art, and who should be the leaders?
