Indoor Meeting – Twitching (Birding) at the Yale Center for British Art – Mark Aronson
The history of birds, formal studies of ornithology and birdwatching owe much to the efforts of British natural historians, scientists and collectors. In the 17th and 18th centuries artists helped systematically cataloguing and depicting both British and world birds. By the 19th century artists tried to depict all the species they came across during their world travels. Mark Aronson, the senior conservator of paintings at the Yale Center for British Art, has spent some of his time birding the paintings in the collection and he will show some of the 75+ birds seen on the walls of the YCBA. A visit to this free museum serves as a perfect way to get your twitch on during a rainy day.
Held at the: Whitney Center – Cultural Arts Center, Hamden
