CC Summer Music Festival: Music and Art Talkat 30 West Dale Street

Charles Bunnell’s 1959 Untitled, which is the featured artwork for the CC Summer Music Festival this year, will be available for Talk patrons to view in the Gathering Place: Permanent Collection Reinstallation, in the FAC’s First Floor Galleries on the day of the event. To see the piece on the way to the Talk, guests should walk with the group coming from Packard Hall following Music at Midday. Patrons who miss seeing the work beforehand will also have an opportunity to view it afterward. Festival musicians will share a performance with attendees. Bunnell attended the Broadmoor Art Academy — precursor to the Fine Arts Center — where he studied under American impressionist Ernest Lawson in 1927 and 1928 and then became an instructor at the prestigious Academy in 1929. He is among the few artists who learned traditional painting at the Academy and later adopted a more purified form of abstraction in his paintings. In his paintings, pure color and shape are the elements through which our ultimate response is sensory, emotional, and intuitive.
