WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (July 2, 2009) Satisfy your appetite for learning during your lunch hour by visiting Reynolda House Museum of Art for a noon gallery talk on Thursday, July 16 or Thursday, July 23. The talk, led by Managing Curator Allison Slaby, will focus on "The Stieglitz Circle: Beyond O'Keeffe," a small focused exhibition located in the Northeast Bedroom Gallery of the historic house.

"The Stieglitz Circle" includes the work of modernists Arthur Dove, Marsden Hartley, John Marin, Alfred Maurer, Abraham Walkowitz and Max Weber. Photographer Alfred Stieglitz promoted these and other early 20th-century artists in his New York gallery known as 291, helping to popularize this new style.

This delightful, intimate exhibition is a wonderful way to learn about a particular period in American art and the artists whose work reflected that style. Visitors are invited to ask questions and discuss the works. Admission to the gallery talk is included with the price of admission to Reynolda House. Members are free. For more information, please call 336.758.5150 or visit reynoldahouse.org.
