We often tell visitors that the English colonists of 1692 were the founding fathers and mothers of our country. They were themselves descended from the earli est settlers\, who were establishing a new country and took the biblical i nstruction “be fruitful and multiply” to heart. \nIt is fascinating to consider the many connections between the Salem witch trials and the Revo lutionary War generation\, particularly the one most often referred to as our “Founding Fathers.” Part II of our Rev250 lecture series will focu s on four more notable connections\, including witchcraft skeptic Robert C alef\, Ipswich court clerk Thomas Wade\, condemned witch Mary Bradbury\, a nd accuser Bathsheba Pope. \nJoin us on Thursday\, September 17th at 1:00 pm for this free\, virtual program.\nRegistration is required for this eve nt.

Adolph Gottlieb’s mature style embodies several tactics that gained traction during the 1930s\, some of which exploited the disti nctive traits of coastal and maritime phenomena. This examination of his t echnique considers what happens to abstraction when it leaves dry land\, h ow Gottlieb harnessed its currents\, and how we might assess the results w ithin the development of western painting. \nMilton Avery: A Life of Exper imentation\nby Edith Devaney \nThis lecture brings together and examines A very’s autodidactic nature\, interrogating how this\, along with his lif elong experimentation in composition\, form\, and technique ensured that h e not only sustained the position of being a painter of great interest dur ing his career and to this day\, but that it was these very qualities whic h proved to be so compelling to artists who have followed in his wake. \n ─────── \nAfternoon Program\nMark Rothko — From Cape Ann t o Provincetown: The Arc of a Career\nby Dr. Christopher Rothko & Dr. Kate Rothko Prizel \nAn examination of Rothko’s development and output\, look ing at the importance of place\, colleagues\, and subject throughout his c areer.

On August 31\, 1769\, forty-five women in Lexington\, Massachusetts\ , gathered for a spinning protest—one of more than sixty such demonstrat ions held throughout New England between 1768 and 1770. By spinning wool a nd linen yarn together\, these women demonstrated their ability to produce the textiles needed by their families while rejecting reliance on importe d British goods. \nJoin Stacey Fraser for a fascinating look at how women used their social roles\, domestic skills\, and community networks to part icipate in the growing resistance to British rule. Discover how these seem ingly everyday acts of spinning and boycotting became powerful forms of pr otest in the years leading up to the American Revolutionary War. \nAbout t he Speaker:\nStacey Fraser is Assistant Curator at the Scottish Rite Mason ic Museum & Library in Lexington\, Massachusetts. She recently curated an exhibition exploring Lexington’s role in the American Revolution and cha ired the museum’s 50th anniversary committee. Stacey also serves on the advisory board of LexSeeHer\, a Lexington nonprofit dedicated to making wo men visible in history.
