Timeless Monumentality Paintings from The William Louis-Dreyfus Foundation THROUGH MARCH 4, 2017 Fairfield University Art Museum Walsh Gallery

Leonardo Cremonini was one of the preeminent Italian painters of the 20th century. Widely admired, critically acclaimed, and technically accomplished, his works are to be found in the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C., the Musée d’Art Moderne, Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, and numerous other public collections across Europe and the United States. The British painter Francis Bacon was an early admirer of Cremonini, proposing to a gallerist friend that the poet W.H. Auden write about his work. Italian literary giants Umberto Eco, Italo Calvino, and Alberto Moravia authored lyrical appreciations of the artist. Another champion was William Rubin, legendary director of MoMA, who articulated the essential idea that Cremonini’s canvases embody a “spirit of timeless monumentality.” That acute characterization captures the ethos of Cremonini’s haunting, poetic and enigmatic imagery—his arid, light-filled, silent interiors, described in meticulous detail and populated by anemic, emotionally detached figures. In their geometric clarity and purity of form, his compositions recall the still lifes of the modern Italian painter Giorgio Morandi, while the rigorously constructed spaces that adhere to the geometric laws of perspective hark back much further in history, to Piero della Francesca and other artists of the Italian Renaissance.

With the ascendancy of abstraction and conceptual art in the later 20th century, Cremonini has been sidelined at the margins of modernity. But the resurgence of figurative painting in recent years, and the current, growing appreciation of modern Italian art, make this the optimal moment for a critical reappraisal and popular rehabilitation. Featuring 35 works from the peerless holdings of the Louis-Dreyfus Family Collection, this major exhibition is the first monographic survey devoted to Cremonini in over two decades, and will serve to foster a renewed appreciation of the artist.

JANUARY 27 – APRIL 7, 2017Fairfield University Art MuseumBellarmine Hall Galleries

This exhibition will explore the Manhattan subjects of National Academician Adolf Dehn (1895-1968). Visiting, and then living in New York City, Dehn captured the essence of the city in his paintings, prints and drawings of the landscapes of Central Park, and of the city’s burlesque and night club scenes. While best known as a lithographer and one of the founding members of the American Artists Group, Dehn played a significant role in America’s contemporary realist movement starting in the 1930s. He was included in every Whitney Museum of American Art “Annual” and “Biennial” invitational exhibition from the first biennial 1932 into the early 1960’s, and still holds the record for being in more of these prestigious shows than any other artist. His work is in the permanent collections of more than eighty museums.

Devoted to the artist’s images of Manhattan from the 1920s through 1960, this exhibition features casein paintings (a fast-drying, water-soluble medium made from milk casein or milk protein) watercolors, and pastel, ink and pencil drawings, as well as a select group of lithographs. It will coincide with the publication of Adolf Dehn: Midcentury Manhattan, by Fairfield University Art History Professor Philip Eliasoph (The Artist Book Foundation, 2017).

When New York City’s Civilian Complaint Review Board ruled in James Blake’s favor, charging an undercover NYPD officer with “excessive force” in body slamming the tennis legend to the pavement, one of several national controversies about race and police violence was resolved. Blake — the winner of ten singles titles, a Davis Cup and the author of New York Times bestselling memoir Breaking Back: How I Lost Everything and Won Back My Life — realized, however, that other young men of color might not be treated with equal justice. For the tennis star once ranked number four in the world, the same passion and energy he brought to the courts would soon be directed toward a fight for equality and social justice. During this insightful conversation on difficult topics, Blake will reflect on his journey from the streets of the Bronx, to Fairfield High School, the US Open, and eventually East 42nd Street in Manhattan where his life would change forever, again.

A Gun Show is an exploration of issues such as race, economic inequality, public safety and constitutional rights through music, text and movement. The work’s origins started as a way for the artists to process their emotions after the unfathomable school shootings in Newtown, CT, but has since grown into a much larger collaborative process and conversation — What is it about our collective psyche that fastens so tightly to guns? With its innovative multi-genre original productions, sensational interpretations of modern classics, and “exhilarating blend of precision and anarchy, rigor and bedlam” (The New Yorker), Sō Percussion redefines the scope of the modern percussion ensemble. For more than 15 years, this ensemble, formed by Eric Beach, Josh Quillen, Adam Sliwinski, and Jason Treuting, has engaged in creative collaborations and released 16 albums.

WORKSHOPS AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING Opportunities will be available for workshops and additional education-based programs created in conjunction with the artist and professor. For more information, please contact Lori Jones at [email protected].

MARCH 24 – JUNE 10, 2017Fairfield University Art MuseumWalsh Gallery

H.A. Sigg was born in Switzerland in 1924 and studied in Zurich and later Paris, where he was especially captivated by the art of French Nabi painter Pierre Bonnard. Although his paintings of the 1950s adhere to a figurative idiom, he evolved a purely abstract style, whose graceful, atmospheric and minimalist forms and motifs were inflected by aerial views of Southeast Asia, a vantage point he was afforded in 1968 when he was invited by Swissair to fly as “artist in residence in the sky.” From his privileged, sweeping view from the cockpit, he made sketches of the distant topography below. These became the inspiration and the source of the lithe and geometric abstractions suggestive of terraced fields and gently meandering rivers that characterize his work beginning in the 1970s. For H.A. Sigg, the river is perhaps the most iconic and resonant subject, a “mysterious force” with a spirit of its own, as he has averred, and a metaphor for the course of human life and the search for inner enlightenment. In formulating his river imagery, Sigg has pointed to the influence of Hermann Hesse’s novel Siddhartha, whose protagonist encounters the river as a changing yet constant, regenerating force, and a source of wisdom and genesis—tropes that inform his river-inspired imagery.

H .A . Sigg: Abstract Rivers, presents over 25 paintings and sculptures by this acclaimed Abstract Expressionist painter.

Created by Peter Van Heerden, Nina Bentley, and Sonya Huber Wien Experimental TheatreMARCH 31 AND APRIL 1, 2017 • 8 P.M.$20 | $5 Fairfield University Students QCA Member Price: $15This event is free for Veterans. Please contact the Box Office to reserve your seats.

Using courageous storytelling as an entry point, this project aims to employ a core group of homeless Veterans from ARBI/Homes for the Brave to work with a collaborative team comprised of writer Sonya Huber, artist Nina Bentley and theatre-maker Peter Van Heerden to develop a full-length performance work WAR STORIES.

Stories are filters through which we understand information, shaping how we connect to each other and the world around us. Our stories have the potential to alter culture, politics, policy, behavior and perceptions. Through each of our stories, we can make people care about change by creating space for relatable connection.

This project is supported, in part, by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Department of Economic and Community Development, and the Connecticut Office of the Arts.

NT Live: No Man’s Land WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 18, 2017 • 2 P.M. & 7 P.M.$25 | $5 FAIRFIELD UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Following their hit run on Broadway, Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart return to the West End stage in Harold Pinter’s No Man’s Land, broadcast live to cinemas from Wyndham’s Theatre, London.

One summer’s evening, two aging writers, Hirst and Spooner, meet in a Hampstead pub and continue their drinking into the night at Hirst’s stately house nearby. As the pair become increasingly inebriated, and their stories increasingly unbelievable, the lively conversation soon turns into a revealing power game, further complicated by the return home of two sinister younger men.

Music. Power. Jealousy.

Lucian Msamati (Luther, Game of Thrones, NT Live: The Comedy of Errors) plays Salieri in Peter Shaffer’s iconic play, with live orchestral accompaniment by Southbank Sinfonia.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a rowdy young prodigy, arrives in Vienna, the music capital of the world — and he’s determined to make a splash. Awestruck by his genius, court composer Antonio Salieri has the power to promote his talent or destroy his name. Seized by obsessive jealousy he begins a war with Mozart, with music, and ultimately, with God.

After winning multiple Olivier and Tony Awards when it had its premiere at the National Theatre in 1979, Amadeus was adapted into an Academy Award-winning film.

Doubt: A ParableWritten by John Patrick ShanleyJANUARY 20 – 21 • 8 P.M.JANUARY 21 – 22 • 2 P.M.PepsiCo Theatre$15 | $5 Fairfield University students

In autumn/winter 1964 at St. Nicholas Catholic School in the Bronx, Sister Aloysius Beauvier, the school’s principal, suspects the parish’s priest, Father Brendan Flynn, of having improper relations with the school’s only black student, eighth grader Donald Miller. Sister Aloysius attempts to prove Father Flynn’s guilt in this supposed scandal despite the lack of evidence the case provides. The play Doubt has provoked its audiences to re-examine their roles and responsibilities as either action-takers or bystanders in a politically charged society.
