Winter Film Series: Herb and Dorothy

Thursday, February 11
7:00 p.m.
Free

The Roswell Museum and Art Center’s Winter Film Series is dedicated to the exploration of art as cultural property, art collecting, and art making. The series is free of charge, and is generously sponsored by the Roswell Museum and Art Center Foundation. Fresh popcorn and beverages are available. Donations are welcome.

Herb and Dorothy is a warm and engaging documentary about Herb Vogel, a postal clerk, and Dorothy Vogel, a librarian, whose passion for art led them to amass, with modest means, one of the most significant contemporary art collections in history. Their one bedroom Manhattan apartment housed over 2000 pieces of art that, in 1992, they moved to the National Gallery of Art. (2009, United States, 89 minutes)

Winter Film Series: Séraphine

Thursday, February 18
7:00 p.m.
Free

Séraphine tells the true story of a self-taught cleaning woman, Séraphine Louis, later known as Séraphine de Senlis, who created brilliantly colored canvases painted in secret, inspired by her guardian angel. In 1912 her talent was discovered by Wilhelm Uhde, a German art critic and collector who supported her and eventually exhibited her work in France and elsewhere in Europe. (2008, France, 125 minutes, French with subtitles)

Roswell Artist-in-Residence Lecture and Reception: Janice Jakielski

Janice Jakielski’s most recent work is an investigation of perception and experience. Through her mixed media body objects she explores methods of communication and the navigation of the spaces, both physical and mental, that we inhabit. She will discuss the influences that have informed her work from past to present.

Janice Jakielski received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2000 from New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University and in 2008 a Master of Fine Arts in Ceramics from the University of Colorado, Boulder. She has taught at Colorado State University, Fort Collins, University of Colorado, Boulder and Metropolitan State College, Denver.
