Cyrus Dallin Art Museum

Experience the unveiling of two rare Cyrus Dallin paintings!

Fans of Cyrus Dallin’s sculptural work may be surprised to learn that he was also an accomplished painter. Experience the unveiling of not one, but two, recently acquired and restored paintings by the artist. Dallin Museum Director/Curator Heather Leavell will discuss the fascinating history behind a rare 1884 oil portrait of Susan Frothingham Hall, in whose Charlestown, MA home Dallin lived during a crucial period of his early career. She will also share insights on Dallin’s 1915 self-portrait (the only two-dimensional likeness by the artist known to exist) and details of the painting restoration process. Hear from some key supporters who made these acquisitions possible, including Jacqueline Dennis of Columbia, CA, who is a great grandniece of Cyrus Dallin, and Andrew and Irene Jay of Charlestown, MA.The Dallin Museum is grateful to the Arlington Cultural Council and members of the Dallin family for funds to support the restoration of Cyrus Dallin’s self-portrait.<a href="http://artsarlington.org/arlington-cultural-council/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Arlington Cultural Council</a> is a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.Registration is free, but <a href="https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5MLGU3ZAUHV6L&amp;source=url" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">donations are welcome</a>.A Zoom link to the program will be sent to your email address once registration is complete.
