SUMMARY:Chasing Beauty: A Conversation with Natalie Dykstra and Curator Meg Winslow
DESCRIPTION:Join author\, Natalie Dykstra\, and Curator\, Meg Winslow\, to learn about the life and legacy of Isabella Stewart Gardner \n\n\n\n\nMount Auburn Cemetery will host a conversation between Natalie Dykstra\, author of Chasing Beauty: The Life of Isabella Stewart Gardner\, and Meg Winslow\, Senior Curator of Historical Collections & Archives at Mount Auburn Cemetery this October. \nA presentation on the research and writing process of Chasing Beauty will be followed by a conversation on collaboration with Mount Auburn and what makes a biography come alive. \nAbout Chasing Beauty: The Life of Isabella Stewart Gardner by Natalie Dykstra \nThe vivid and masterful story of Isabella Stewart Gardner—creator of one of America’s most stunning museums—an American original whose own life was remade by art. Includes archival photos of Isabella’s world\, museum\, and the art she collected. \nAn extraordinary achievement of storytelling and scholarship\, Chasing Beauty illuminates the fascinating ways the museum and its holdings can be seen as a kind of memoir\, dazzling and haunting\, created with objects instead of words and displayed per Isabella’s wishes in the exact placements she initially curated. \nFrom award-winning author Natalie Dykstra\, Chasing Beauty is the story of the complex and singular woman behind one of the most fascinating museums in the nation and the world—a tale of beauty and loss\, grit and American self-invention. \nAbout Natalie Dykstra \nNatalie Dykstra is the author of Clover Adams: A Gilded and Heartbreaking Life\, which won a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Fellowship and was a finalist for the 2013 Massachusetts Book Award.
