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.
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. Autographed DVD copies of David Dunlop’s PBS series will be available for sale at this event.
