Things are Seldom what they Seem with John Kreifeldt

Many famous paintings have gripping, sometimes shocking, sometimes humorous, backstories which are at odds with their appearances, making us see them with different eyes. Three of these: “Washington Crossing the Delaware” (no escaping destiny); “Nocturn in Black and Gold” (when art criticism becomes libel); and “Watson and the Shark” (their sympathies were with the shark) will be presented in three illustrated talks.
