Join Silvermine Guild Artists Arlė Sklar-Weinstein and Jody Silver for an informal art discussion about their current collaborative works on exhibit in February 21, 2010 1037 Silvermine Rd New Canaan, CT 06840 Description: David will discuss how artists have borrowed from ancient and foreign sources to find modern ideas. The lecture will explore the arts of varied times and cultures and show how they are retrofitted to contemporary artists. He will also provide insight as to how ancient mythologies, exotic cultures and lost societies might shape our imagination and give contemporary artists a new language with a new set of tools. David Dunlop has given art history lectures at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and his 13-week PBS series which began airing in March 2008, "Landscapes through Time" won a Daytime Emmy Award this year for Outstanding Special Class in writing.
