The Norman Rockwell Museum, Stockbridge, Mass

Parody or homage? A January 1962 cover of The Saturday Evening Post features an older man eying a painting that looks like a Jackson Pollock. The painter? Norman Rockwell.

Titled The Connoisseur, the painting is interpreted as a mix of art criticism (is this true artwork?) and bravado (but I can do it too!). It mixes Jackson Pollock’s trademark drip painting with Rockwell’s trademark illustrations. Rockwell used Pollock’s painting canvas on the floor method, before adding the gentleman viewer to the work.

God Particle: Higgs Boson And Other Quantum SecretsSarbmeet Kanwal, PhD, physicist

Irish Heritage 21

History of Ireland – The Irish Identity: A Continuation...Henry McNally, M.A, M.S., Irish historian

The early days of 20th Century Ireland saw a confluence of imperative movements and events. Some historical, cultural and literary, some political and social, some outright revolutionary, these forces produced something extraordinary; an Irish Republic. A nation, however, must exist before announcing itself to the world as a free Republic. This program is a new approach to contemporary Irish History and includes a series of recorded lectures describing the establishment of a Celtic identity. We’ll look at the way in which historical, cultural and literary developments allowed for, almost demanded, political agitation and rebellion. This fall we’ll focus on the 1916 Rebellion and the Irish War of Independence. First class is a review of the completed summer program. Returning students are welcome and new students are encouraged to attend. 6 SESSIONSWed, Oct 18-Nov 22, 10 am-noonFee and Code: $89, XIRIG 125

Managing The Grief/Fear ConnectionDiane Lang, therapist, author, educator

Grief brings up a lot of emotions, but most commonly fear. When we encounter loss (of any kind!) we can find ourselves stuck in constant fear because our comfort zone and norm has been shaken. The life we have known has been taken away from us without preparation or planning and life has become uncertain. Uncertainty fosters fear and leaves us feeling vulnerable. Learn strategies for managing these feelings and finding new hope in tomorrow’s opportunities. 3 SESSIONSThurs, Nov 30-Dec 14, 2-3:30 pmFee and Code: $59, XPERS 010
