A lover of theater\, music\, and performance of all kinds\, Shinn embraced the decorative and throughout his long career he created works on paper\, canvas\, furnishings\, architecture\, even pianos and stage sets\, that engaged with a raucous decorative aesthetic often termed Rococo revival. Along the way\, you will experience the sound installation of contemporary American composer Nico Muhly\, whose two-part musical composition emanates from the piano inside Coe Hall and then is radically transformed into a continuous loop of immersive sound that uses music to transform the experience of the Shinn-designed Tea House interior and manicured Italian Garden into a new auditory encounter. \n\nRegister Here URL:https://plantingfields.org/happenings/everett-shinn-operatics-tours-begin-may-12/ CATEGORIES:Tours and Tickets ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://plantingfields.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Screen-Shot-2021-05-24-at-9.48.00-AM.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20200930T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20200930T150000 DTSTAMP:20260531T080004 CREATED:20200918T152222Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200929T193029Z UID:83598-1601461800-1601478000@plantingfields.org SUMMARY:Robert Winthrop Chanler Exhibition Tours - 9/30 DESCRIPTION:This is the last day of the Chanler exhibition. \nIn celebration of the centennial anniversary of the completion of the Buffalo Mural in Coe Hall\, Planting Fields Foundation presents an exhibition on the work of Robert Winthrop Chanler (1872-1930)\, titled The Electrifying Art and Spaces of Robert Winthrop Chanler.  A rare opportunity to view decorative screens and panels from private collections throughout America\, the exhibition highlights Chanler’s depiction of frenzied worlds from the early 1910s to the late 1920s.
