What is it about Vermeer that inspires viewers to stand in hushed silence in front of his works? How does he distill his simple scenes of domestic life into realms of transcendent reality? He utilized perspective not only to define space but for its expressive potential. Remarkably sensitive to color, he was a master at controlling his paints, working effectively with both dense impastos and thin glazes. Let us savor a selection of his works and discover the ineffable art of painting.

About the lecturer(s)

Carol Tabler

Carol Tabler, noted art historian, holds a PhD from the Institute of Fine Arts at NYU. Her dissertation focused on the French nineteenth-century artist Antoine Vollon, with whom she came into contact while writing the European section of the catalogue for the Heckscher Museum’s collection. Over the years she has organized exhibitions at the museum, served as a trustee, and is currently a member of the Collection Stewardship Committee there. Her scholarship on Vollon has led to conference presentations and publication opportunities in books, journals, and exhibition catalogues, including an e-journal article available to read on the web. In 2005 she wrote the essay for a major solo exhibition on Vollon at the Wildenstein Gallery in New York. In 2015 she donated one of Vollon’s finest drawings to the Frick Collection in New York and was invited to present a live-streamed, archived lecture on the artist, still available to view on the Frick’s website. She considers herself a Francophile, specializing in the French nineteenth century, although her broad university-level teaching experience over the years has inevitably expanded on that concentration.
