January 13: Buenos Aires, Tango and Impressionism
Presenting Docent, Isabel Ballerna
In this presentation Isabel features the art of Benito Quinquela Martin who was a painter of his beloved port “La Boca”. For him color was life and his life was color. His paintings of port scenes show the
activity, vigor and roughness of the daily port life. Benito Quinquela Martin is recognized as a great artist worldwide for his inherent talent and profound love of color and tango music.

February 10: Creatures Great and Small
Presenting Master Docent, Diane Newton
Beloved pets have enriched our lives, and they have come in all shapes and sizes. Throughout time, people have been drawn to animals, and artists have included them in their art works, often to convey a special message. Through a variety of art works from ancient times to the present day, we will travel through the world of animals and explore Creatures Great and Small and Their Secret Messages.
