Modern educators lead a family-oriented project via a short instructional video designed in relation to works in the Modern’s permanent collection and the special exhibition Mark Bradford: End Papers. The November session will focus on docent favorites!
ONLINE EVENT
Performed in the Modern's auditorium, “A Bridge of Searing Beauty,” the virtual Chamber Music Society of Fort Worth concert will present two composers whose works are rarely performed. The music of Frank Bridge (1879-1941) is beautiful in a highly romantic way and a great contrast to the classical style of Chevalier de St. George (1845-1899). Not only was there great contrast in their musical styles but in their lives, as well.
Francis Bacon's Self-Portrait, 1956, captures several of the artist's distinctive features, including his broad face, deep-set eyes, and commanding stature. Delve further into this painting from the Modern's permanent collection in this docent-led video.
This performance will be in the Modern's auditorium and available as an online event.
A young couple’s plans for a romantic weekend together in New York City are dashed as quickly as the sunlight turns into showers. “This romcom is, above anything else, incredibly true to its creator Woody Allen—enriched with his familiar use of witty, self-deprecating language and romantic flair.” Stefan Pape, Common Sense Media.
PG-13; 92 minutes
A New York woman and her impulsive, larger-than-life father (Bill Murray) try to find out if her husband is having an affair in the latest film from director Sofia Coppola. “You see in Felix the deadpan anarchic streak that has made Murray a force in American comedy for decades. At the same time, the actor seems to be winking at his own reputation for off-screen mischief.” Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times.
R; 96 minutes
