SUMMARY:VBMA Exhibition: French Moderns: Monet to Matisse\, 1850 - 1950
DESCRIPTION:French Moderns: Monet to Matisse\, 1850- 1950\nFebruary 1–June 22\, 2025\nHolmes Gallery \nParis was regarded as the center of Western art in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The period’s leading artists experimented with bold\, expressive styles—Realism\, Impressionism\, Post-Impressionism\, Symbolism\, Fauvism\, Cubism\, and Surrealism. Explore this pivotal and dynamic period in art history when the internationally touring French Moderns: Monet to Matisse\, 1850- 1950 exhibition makes its first and only South/Central Florida stop at the Vero Beach Museum of Art\, February 1 through June 22. The exhibition is organized by Lisa Small\, Senior Curator of European Art\, and Richard Aste\, former Curator of European Art\, Brooklyn Museum. \nThe French Moderns exhibition features 59 paintings and sculptures from that collection\, including some of the most renowned names in Modern art— Renoir\, Matisse\, Léger\, Bonnard\, Morisot\, Chagall\, Vuillard\, and Degas. It also highlights artists like Lajos Tihanyi\, Aleksandr Yakovlev\, and Giovanni Boldini\, who settled in Paris and made significant contributions to the art scene\, each hailing from Hungary\, Russia\, and Italy\, respectively. \nEach artwork in French Moderns is displayed with a corresponding extended label that provides insight into each artist’s sensibilities and\, in many cases\, points out revolutionary aspects of their subjects\, style\, and sources of inspiration. \nFree with Museum admission. \nIMAGE CAPTION: Claude Monet (French\, 1840–1926).

SUMMARY:VBMA Exhibition - Well-Dressed: Artworks from the Permanent Collection
DESCRIPTION:Well-Dressed: Artworks from the Permanent Collection\nFebruary 10–September 14\, 2025\nSchumann Gallery and Titelman Gallery \nWell-Dressed: Artworks from the Permanent Collection explores the intersection of fashion\, identity\, performance\, and self-expression. The show is VBMA’s first major thematic permanent collection exhibition in recent years and brings together dozens of artworks\, some familiar and others rarely on display. \nWell-Dressed begins with portraits of individuals in various kinds of dress\, often wearing colorful garments. Some clothing items\, like the yellow dress in Joseph Stella’s painting Joy of Living\, starkly contrast with their surroundings\, while others\, such as the photograph\, Punzante by Argentinian artists Raúl Eduardo Stolkiner (known as RES) and Constanza Piaggio\, emphasize pattern and materiality\, presenting a woman adorned in a stole made entirely of wire. \nA section of the exhibition examines the concept of “collective dress\,” highlighting works that portray groups of individuals wearing similar or identical outfits or uniforms. Another section focuses on the attire of dancers\, performers\, musicians\, and actors. The final section showcases artworks that depict only clothing or accessories; pieces such as Michael Craig-Martin’s Untitled (Sunglasses) and Karen LaMonte’s Reclining Dress Absence. These function almost as surrogate portraits\, allowing viewers to imagine whom they might represent. \nThe exhibition is organized by the Vero Beach Museum of Art. \nIMAGE CAPTION: Karen LaMonte\, Reclining Dress Absence\, 2005. Cast glass\, 20 x 63 x 15 inches. Museum purchase with funds provided by the Alice and James S. Beckwith III Endowment; Mr. and Mrs. Rex L. Brophy Endowment for Acquisitions; William B. and Marcia H. Howell Endowment Fund for Collections and the Museum Acquisition Fund in celebration of the Museum’s 30th Anniversary\, 2016.2 \nThe exhibition is free with Museum admission. \nThis is a Weekly Recurring Event\nRuns from Feb 10\, 2025 to Sep 14\, 2025 and happens every:\nMondays: 10:00am – 4:30pm Timezone: EST\nTuesdays: 10:00am – 4:30pm Timezone: EST\nWednesdays: 10:00am – 4:30pm Timezone: EST\nThursdays: 10:00am – 4:30pm Timezone: EST\nFridays: 10:00am – 4:30pm Timezone: EST\nSaturdays: 10:00am – 4:30pm Timezone: EST\nSundays: 1:00pm – 4:00pm Timezone: EST

SUMMARY:VBMA Exhibition - Timeless: Robert Farber’s Fashion Photography
DESCRIPTION:Timeless: Robert Farber’s Fashion Photography\nFebruary 10–August 31\, 2025\nStark Gallery \nVero Beach Museum of Art is pleased to present Timeless: Robert Farber’s Fashion Photography on view in the Stark Gallery from February 10 through August 31\, 2025. Farber (b. 1944) has lived and traveled the world as a leading force in the world of photography. \nRobert Farber’s professional practice spans commercial and fine art photography\, with subject matter ranging from fashion and portraits to still life and landscapes. The works featured in Timeless are drawn from two major bodies of work: his Vintage Fashion series\, captured during commercial shoots\, and the Deterioration series\, which consists of prints from his earlier fashion photography. These prints\, created from film that became vulnerable to heat\, humidity\, and other elements over the years\, reveal colorful and otherworldly distortions. These effects are entirely natural and reveal the beauty in the unexpected transformations of the film over time. \nTimeless brings both series together for the first time in a museum exhibition. \nThis exhibition is organized by the Vero Beach Museum of Art. \nIMAGE CAPTION: Robert Farber\, Deterioration #155\, (detail) 1982/2017.

SUMMARY:Vero Beach Opera Presents La Bohème and Puccini—The Search for a Libretto
DESCRIPTION:In his talk\, Vero Beach Opera Master of Ceremonies Ian Campbell shows how Puccini and his librettists created an opera by sifting through Henry Murger’s Scènes de la vie de Bohème\, which chronicles the adventures of four Bohemians as they struggle to survive in 1840s Paris. With musical examples showing the beauty of this opera and how Puccini even incorporated music from his student days to marvelous effect\, the search for a libretto will hold more than a few surprises\, even for those who know the opera well. \nRegistration is required. $20 per VBMA and Vero Beach Opera member; $25 per nonmember (includes museum admission)

SUMMARY:Yesterday’s ‘Grit’ Is Today’s Resilience:  Louise Kennedy to Review True Grit
DESCRIPTION:A tale of resilience\, justice\, and personal determination\, True Grit remains as powerful and timely today as when it was written in 1968. \nLouise Kennedy\, who has served as Executive Director of the Laura Riding Jackson Foundation and as chair of the English Department at St. Edwards School\, will review True Grit\, by Charles Portis\, at the Book Review Breakfast\, 9:30am Monday\, March 3\, in the Richardson Center of Indian River State College\, Vero Beach. Sponsored by the American Association of University Women–Vero Beach\, the Book Review Breakfast is free and open to the public. \nTrue Grit speaks to modern audiences with a strong\, independent young woman whose tenacity and unyielding sense of morality align with contemporary conversations about female empowerment and justice. The novel’s exploration of law\, morality\, and perseverance in the face of adversity holds significant weight in today’s social climate. Themes of personal responsibility\, justice\, and overcoming hardship continue to make True Grit an enduring piece of American storytelling. \nTrue Grit is more than a Western—it’s a testament to the enduring power of courage and conviction: Today’s audiences can still find inspiration in Mattie Ross’ relentless pursuit of justice. \nAAUW-Vero Beach is a 501(c)3 charitable organization that provides scholarships to girls and women in Indian River County. While Book Review Breakfasts are free and open to the public\, you are encouraged to bring new or gently used children’s books for the four Little Free Libraries that we support.
