LECTURE: Art and Science: A Night with Painter David Dunlop

Thursday, October 1, 6:30 pm

$10 members / $15 nonmembers

From Ancient Greece to the 21st century here is an explanation of how art works with science. How art evolved to imitate appearance; how Vision works and how we thought it worked; how optics were used to make paintings and then photographs; how geometry became perspective; how artist colors tried to imitate vision; how the science of color altered art history; How new discoveries in psychology, neurobiology, and physical intelligence are changing the directions and purposes of art. How adaptation of new technology continues to inspire artists.

David Dunlop is a modern-day old master whose luminous paintings draw from both Renaissance techniques and contemporary science.  His paintings have been shown internationally and are held in the collections of major corporations including Aetna Insurance, Citibank, Delta Airlines, GE Capital Corporation, IBM, Mobil and more. David is also the engaging host and writer of the 13-show national PBS television series, “Landscapes through Time with David Dunlop,” for which he won an Emmy and a CINE Golden Eagle Award in 2009.
