Traditional 17th century Baroque Still Life paintings are adorned with objects that range widely from daily household items to luxury goods; these highly detailed, jewel-like paintings were often imbued with religious and allegorical symbolism that spoke to broader cultural interests. Many modern and contemporary artists have looked to this era for inspiration, including celebrated Sheboygan Falls-based glass artist Beth Lipman. Laurie Winters, Executive Director of the Museum of Wisconsin Art, will explore the influence of the still life tradition on Lipman’s work as well as the history and evolution of the genre. Join Jewish Museum Milwaukee for the last segment of Local Lives, National Voices, an engaging four-part series highlighting and celebrating individuals with local roots making an impact in a diverse range of artistic arenas on a national level.

Early Music Now presents Eric Hoeprich and the London Haydn Quartet. In two prior seasons we have celebrated an instrument not usually associated with early music, but which has historical roots in the chalumeau and the basset horn. Prior programs showcased those earlier instruments with soprano, harpsichord, cello, and fortepiano. Eric Hoeprich, who specializes in performing on historical clarinet, returns for this third installment, this time with The London Haydn Quartet, one of the world’s leading period instrument string ensembles. The program will include W.A. Mozart’s “Clarinet Quintet” K581, Beethoven’s “String Quartet” Opus 18, No. 3, and the Weber “Clarinet Quintet” Opus 34.

David Plowden states that “the architecture of steelmaking is like no other. Nowhere can you find this massiveness, drama, spectacle, and danger but in a steel mill.” Between 1962 and 1985, Plowden sought to capture the majesty of the steel industry while at the same time documenting the demise of the industry as we knew it. This exhibition allows for a re-examination of Plowden’s steel portfolio, including many photos printed specifically for this purpose. Featuring more than 100 of his finest photographs, Steel places the viewer at the point where shovel meets dirt in the mining process and ends in the same soil surrounding these long-abandoned mills.

Laurie Hogin: Implacable Demons and Better Angels Bizarre and beautiful, Laurie Hogin’s allegorical paintings raise issues of consumerism, sexism, and environmental degradation.

Hogin’s paintings are filled with images of snarling bunnies, maternal monkeys and other creatures affected by the industrial, pharmacological, political, and economical forces. Exhibition Dates: January 6 – February 4 Opening Reception: Gallery Night January 20, 5-9 p.m. Artist's Talk: Saturday, January 21 at 2 p.m.
