Alphonse Mucha: Master of Art Nouveau

Museum of the Shenandoah Valley Closes July 31

Organized by Landau Traveling Exhibitions, Alphonse Mucha: Master of Art Nouveau includes more than 70 original works by the artist many

consider the creator of the Art Nouveau style. Vintage lithographs, including some unique proof copies, original drawings and paintings,

books and advertising ephemera, make up one of the largest private

collections of Mucha's work. This exhibition shows Mucha at the height of his career in Paris during the years 1890-1910. His designs for

posters, calendars, books and advertising labels circulated widely throughout Europe and America, and his Art Nouveau style dominated

visual culture and graphic design for years.

The exhibition is drawn from the holdings of the Dhawan Collection, Los Angeles, which is one of the largest and finest collections of Alphonse

Mucha's work in the United States.

Billboard images (above) feature details of the following works by Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939) from the Dhawan Collection: Monaco,

Monte-Carlo, 1897, color lithograph on paper; Salon des Cent, XXme Exposition, 1897, color lithograph on paper; and Job, 1896, color

Exhibition Details

Glenn Miller Orchestra Glen Echo

July 30

Just saying the "Glenn Miller Orchestra" immediately conjures up images of the Big Band Era. Since the time he formed his own orchestra in 1937

until his untimely disappearance over the English Channel in 1944, the Glenn Miller Orchestra provided the music that was the backbone of

the Lindy Hop era. Classic songs like Tuxedo Junction, Chattanooga Choo-Choo, Sunrise Serenade, Pennsylvania 6-5000, In the Mood, and

more, will never go out of style.

 Saturday, July 30, 2016

 8:00pm 11:59pm

Spanish Ballroom at Glen Echo Park 7300 MacArthur Boulevard, Glen Echo, Maryland 20812

Beginner swing lesson with Tom and Debra 8-9pm, dance 9pm-

1920s Garden Party -- Chatham

As part of the National Park Service's Centennial celebrations,

Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park is excited to host a "Roaring Twenties" garden party and jazz concert on August 6, 2016.

The afternoon will feature 1920s era cars and living historians dressed in period clothes, walking tours that explore the founding of the park in

1927 and the revitalization of Chatham in the 1920s, including the creation of its famed gardens, and other activities. Pack a dinner in your

own basket to join us on the grounds for a picnic, leading up to a concert from 6:00-8:00 p.m. featuring the Capital Focus Jazz Band from

Washington, DC.

This program is free and open to the public. 1920s-style costumes are

encouraged! Bring a lawn chair for the concert, and pack your own picnic dinner and blanket to bridge the afternoon programs with the

evening concert. A prize will be awarded for the best picnic basket setup!

Congress created Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park in 1927, at the height of the "Roaring Twenties." The garden party on

August 6 recalls those days.

Deco Japan: 1920-1945 June 11 - December 31, 2016

http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001KnLg1TXzagjAJkbd6yQ5-WogJ5qIXs-k9g06KsJf5f250RWDdAmouxBeOmhVLjapxnSsnoePa5A1OyAypoil5Lv2aGQvbdYAjh7T7NYHUJf8vv7xoWo9SAcZaJbTsyDSONRGwNVXkw5bH98ypbmE0oBBNaKO0V6dSPI3byomhiL9lq5JBDPrB7SpTriM-FevQcoUUpQ7_rTkaDlrdo2RzbX7qQ0HcvqW-0OMWAXXcfGGLZV66jR03y3WOGY2VaA9&c=&ch=

The style that came to be known as art deco, which flourished from the 1920s to 1940s, was a vivid reflection of the modern era and the vitality

of the machine age. Between the wars, as normalcy returned to politics, jazz music blossomed, and the flapper redefined the modern woman, art

deco left its mark on every form of visual art.

Originating in Europe, the new art form, characterized by rectilinear

shapes, geometric patterns, and bold colors, traveled the world as an ambassador for modernism and style. Deco Japan, 1920-1945, a special

exhibition on view at Hillwood beginning in June 2016, will explore how the Japanese interpreted the style and transformed it through their own

rich art and craft traditions. The art deco creations of Japan are vivid translations of both tradition and innovation-a visual record of the

artistic explosion that ushered Japan from its conventional artistic format into the Modern era.

Featuring a wide range of media-sculpture, painting, prints, ceramics,

lacquerware, jewelry, textiles, furniture, and graphic ephemera-this traveling exhibition brings Japanese art deco to Washington for the first

time. It builds on the passion that Hillwood founder Marjorie

Merriweather Post had for decorative art, focusing on her most transformative era, when she epitomized the flapper lifestyle and

developed her own taste for finely-crafted objects. Displayed among multiple buildings upon the 25-acre campus, Deco Japan will also bring

focus to the Japanese-style Garden, one of Hillwood's most beloved features.
