The Lady in Gold: A Facilitated
Books & Bites Discussion
We’ll discuss Washington Post reporter AnneMarie O’Connor work about Gustav Klimt’s
literally dazzling painting of Adele BlochBauer, a Jewish socialite in Vienna at the
turn of the 20th century. The book paints a
fascinating and detailed picture of fin-de siècle
Vienna and Klimt’s evolution as a painter;
the growing horror and power of the Nazis as
they steal precious art and other valuables
from wealthy Jewish families; and after the
war, the surviving family’s attempt, led by
Adele’s husband’s niece, Maria Altmann, to
reclaim their stolen art treasures, even as the
Austrians deny their complicity.
We’ll conclude our session with a Wiener
Melange (crème-topped Viennese coffee)
and apfelstrudel. (A summary of the book
will also be available upon request.)

he prepared during the four years of working

»» Discovering the Impressionists:
Paul Durand-Ruel and the
New Painting at Philadelphia
Museum of Art
A private, docent-led tour of the acclaimed
exhibition, at the only U.S. location.
Despite the popularity of Impressionism today,
the groundbreaking shifts that occurred in
French painting at the end of the nineteenth
century were not immediately embraced by
collectors, dealers, or the public. A vital figure
in the rise of Impressionism is Paul DurandRuel (1831–1922), a practical, ambitious, and
visionary Parisian art dealer who enthusiastically
championed the new style of painting.
Discovering the Impressionists examines the
critical years from 1865 to 1905 when DurandRuel both inspired and sustained artists like
Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Édouard
Manet, Camille Pissarro, and Edgar Degas.

American literature, Harper Lee’s greatly
anticipated Go Set a Watchman, (HarperCollins)
will be released in July 2015. Written in the
1950s, the novel features Scout — the young
protagonist in To Kill a Mockingbird — as an
adult woman. Professor Lambert, an expert in

The Long Green Tunnel
The Long Green Tunnel is an engaging,
sometimes humorous, sometimes tense,
real-life adventure about a young man who
battles mud, moose, and mosquitoes along
the Appalachian Trail. But the real lessons
from the Trail are not about the trials and
tribulations dealing with the great outdoors,
but about friendships, communities and
himself. The story takes place on a hike but it
no more sticks to hiking than Huckleberry
Finn stuck to boating. Price includes wine
and cheese reception and a signed copy of
the book.
