SUMMARY:B. Scott Crawford Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Presentation #4\nArt vs. Tyranny: The Ultimate Selfie  \nPierre Daura\, Modern Artist and resident mid-20th century Rockbridge County\, Virginia\, resident\, created a unique Cubist inspired work of art in late 1945\, possibly early 1946. The painting\, titled Pax Pacific\, depicts an abstract figure kneeling at a grave. However\, the symbolism present within the work\, along with a poem discovered as the inspiration of the work\, carries this painting into a very different interpretive arena! Through an engaging interpretive journey\, this presentation will demonstrate how works of art can easily contain much deeper meanings\, and ultimately\, in this case\, suggest the possibility that a much richer meaning behind the work exists\, allowing for the possibility of the abstract figure being a heretofore unknown portrait. Crawford published a short overview of his work on the painting Pax Pacific in The Volunteer\, found here: https://albavolunteer.org/2015/06/art-vs-tyranny-daura-rossen-and-bottcher/ \n  \n\nB. Scott Crawford holds a master’s degree in history from Old Dominion University and has an extensive background in education\, having taught at the high school and college levels\, as well as serving as the social studies coordinator\, K-12\, for a Virginia school division and as the Director of Education for the Museum of Western Virginia and then Taubman Museum of Art in Roanoke\, Virginia. Scott currently serves as President & CEO for Virginia 811. He has been with the Notification Center since December 2016\, serving as Director of Operations and then Vice President prior to moving into his current position in July 2020.\n \n  \nThis event is free and part of our 2025 Lecture Series which will focus on Blacksburg history\, community\, and culture plus intriguing history and arts topics in general.

SUMMARY:B. Scott Crawford Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Presentation #3\n“You Cannot Paint her too Beautiful for my Imagination”: Domesticity\, Death\, and Photography in 19th Century Portraiture  \nPortraiture is so often thought of as being a means to capture the image of a sitter determined to have his or her likeness preserved on canvas. However\, not all sitters were alive. While not entirely new in the 19th century\, the Victorian Age witnessed a unique culture of death with mourning portraiture being an important part of this culture. Lilly Martin Spencer\, known for her reflections of 19th century domesticity\, had a fairly lucrative career painting postmortem portraits. While she admitted that the new technology of photography threatened traditional portraiture\, she was able to actually embrace this new technology to open new opportunities for revenue due to photography. Specifically\, a painting in the Taubman Museum of Art’s collection will serve as the focus for how Spencer adapted to new technology and was able to remain relevant as an artist\, finding a means to augment her household income and directly challenge the 19th century norms tied to domesticity so many of her portraits paradoxically reinforced. \n  \n\nB. Scott Crawford holds a master’s degree in history from Old Dominion University and has an extensive background in education\, having taught at the high school and college levels\, as well as serving as the social studies coordinator\, K-12\, for a Virginia school division and as the Director of Education for the Museum of Western Virginia and then Taubman Museum of Art in Roanoke\, Virginia.

SUMMARY:B. Scott Crawford Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Presentation #2\n“A Wise man will Find us to be Rogues by our Face”: Physiognomy and Portraiture \nJohnathan Swift’s observation about the relationship between character and physical features sums up an important comment of Western art. From the Ancient World into the 21st century\, to varying degrees\, the belief that physical features indicate clear and even irrefutable clues as to a person’s character influenced portraiture. Exploring Ancient statues and a host of Medieval and Renaissance paintings\, as well as Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales\, the impact this pseudo-science\, physiognomy\, had on art and portraiture will be highlighted. Taking this overview as a starting point\, Santi di Tito’s late 17th century portrait of Machiavelli will be examined through this physiognomic lens in order to better understand di Tito’s posthumous representation of the controversial philosopher and gain insight into Machiavelli’s work The Prince. This original research will provide both an understanding of physiognomy and a new understanding of at least one reason Machiavelli has been viewed as scandalous. \n  \n\nB. Scott Crawford holds a master’s degree in history from Old Dominion University and has an extensive background in education\, having taught at the high school and college levels\, as well as serving as the social studies coordinator\, K-12\, for a Virginia school division and as the Director of Education for the Museum of Western Virginia and then Taubman Museum of Art in Roanoke\, Virginia. Scott currently serves as President & CEO for Virginia 811. He has been with the Notification Center since December 2016\, serving as Director of Operations and then Vice President prior to moving into his current position in July 2020.\n \n\nThis event is free and part of our 2025 Lecture Series which will focus on Blacksburg history\, community\, and culture plus intriguing history and arts topics in general.

SUMMARY:B. Scott Crawford Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:RESCHEDULED from February 20 to February 25 \nPresentation #1\nThe Selfie: From Stone Age to Digital Age \nThe Digital Revolution has launched an unprecedented communications revolution. Individuals have an ability to now promote themselves at a global level at any time and in a matter of seconds. The selfie has emerged as the latest means for individuals to project images of themselves for public viewing\, but now\, through digital technologies\, in a democratic manner. No longer is portraiture reserved for the wealthy; access to a ubiquitous mobile phone and a free social media account can allow an individual to share self-images with audiences possibly larger many traditional portraits ever reached! This presentation will explore the art behind the preservation of images of individuals\, spanning cave art to Instagram. Through this journey over time\, we may very well find that the selfie is not as much about megalomania as it is about simply magnifying a timeless component of human nature. However\, with the introduction of artificial intelligence\, we will end with a reflection of how AI may\, through training\, be embracing this nature as well! \n  \n\nB. Scott Crawford holds a master’s degree in history from Old Dominion University and has an extensive background in education\, having taught at the high school and college levels\, as well as serving as the social studies coordinator\, K-12\, for a Virginia school division and as the Director of Education for the Museum of Western Virginia and then Taubman Museum of Art in Roanoke\, Virginia. Scott currently serves as President & CEO for Virginia 811. He has been with the Notification Center since December 2016\, serving as Director of Operations and then Vice President prior to moving into his current position in July 2020.\n \n\nThis event is free and part of our 2025 Lecture Series which will focus on Blacksburg history\, community\, and culture plus intriguing history and arts topics in general.

SUMMARY:Main Gallery Exhibit: Jesi Pace-Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:Many people recognize Jesi as our community’s preeminent portrait artist. But her artworks span various genres beyond portraiture\, including \, still life\, landscape\, seascape\, floral\, abstract\, and nonobjective.\nFaces & More is a representation of Jesi’s creations and teachings over 53 years. Her collection is so vast and impressive that we are showcasing her retrospective work in two locations. The new Y Community Gallery will exhibit her larger portraits while The Blacksburg Museum & Cultural Foundation gallery at The Alexander Black House will highlight her smaller scale work\, most of which has never been publicly displayed.\nJesi’s passion for art and education over the years has led her to teaching in Montgomery County schools\, leading multi-day Plein Air Watercolor workshops\, and planning enrichment courses overseas in France\, where she guides participants through the composition of stunning scenes from Avignon\, Aix en Provence\, Arles\, Aigues Mortes\, Uzes\, Nime\, and more.\n\nExhibit runs November 30 – February 7\n
