Lecture & Luncheon 10 am – 1 pm 6 – 8 pm
$75 per guest $30 per guest
O nce again the Haggin Museum will be in full bloom as the ladies of Junior
Women’s Group (JWG) present their unique celebration of spring, Haggin In
Bloom, on Wednesday and Thursday, March 20 & 21, 2019. The event will include
two days of floral delights arranged by area florists and designers that are paired
with specific Haggin Museum artwork, such as J.C. Leyendecker’s “Queen of Spring”
interpreted by Anna Adams of Huckleberry Blooms and pictured here.
Wednesday’s lecture speaker is Dutch-born designer and
educator René van Remes. Now a California resident, van
Remes is a world-renowned, award-winning ambassador of
the floral industry. Educated in floriculture at the prestigious
Aalsmeer Floral Institute, The Netherlands, he has led
design shows and seminars throughout the US and Canada.
His work has been featured in Better Home & Garden, Sunset,
and other publications as well as on Home & Garden TV.
He is a founding trustee of Institute of Floral Art & Science
and lives in San Diego. Van Remes’ presentation is highly
visual and energetic and will inspire us to start working on
our “inner artist” and see how just a few flowers, or a lot, can
positively and dramatically impact our homes. The elegant
luncheon will be prepared and served by the ladies of JWG. This event is $75 per
person.
Thursday’s Sip & Stroll special evening event includes several floral demonstrations, exhibits and tablescapes as well as
hors d’oeuvres prepared by JWG and local wines from Weibel Family Winery. Cost of this evening event is $30 per person.
Reservations are required for both of these member events. Members, please watch for your invitation in the mail in early
February, 2019. The floral arrangements will be on display during the museum’s regular public hours on both dates of Haggin
In Bloom events. Regular admission prices apply.

MICHAEL DOLAS:
Capturing the Character of His Country
JANUARY 17 − FEBRUARY 24, 2019
When the artist Michael Dolas passed away in 2010 just shy of his 98th birthday, he
brought an end to the Golden Age of American Illustration. Its ranks included the likes
of J.C. Leyendecker, Norman Rockwell and Dean Cornwell—all of whom influenced
Dolas in one way or another during his long career and all of whom he counted among
his many friends.
The son of Greek immigrants, Dolas was raised in New York and Pennsylvania. After
graduating from Syracuse University with a degree in illustration, he settled in New York
City and although he began his professional career by painting covers for a number
of national magazines, it was the illustrations for the stories that appeared within
the magazines’ covers that comprised the majority of his early work. His paintings
accompanied stories by writers such as Pearl S. Buck, Ernest Hemingway and Paul
Gallico. Dolas’ characters included average Americans in their everyday pursuits—at
work and at play. He also was quite accomplished at capturing the grittier side of
humanity in his many illustrations for stories of mystery, crime and adventure.
Before the war Dolas had utilized photography to help him compose
his paintings, and during World War II the US Army took advantage
of his photographic expertise. Assigned to the Signal Corps, he
spent four years in the Pacific Theatre as a combat photographer,
including documenting the landings on Okinawa.
Following the war, Dolas returned to New York to resume his career
as an illustrator. By this time the demand for magazine illustrations
was waning and so Dolas turned his talents to the growing field
of advertising art. Soon his illustrations graced the pages of
newspapers, magazines and billboards, all helping to sell a variety
of products ranging from beer and dairy products to shaving cream
and automobiles. In 1955 Dolas and his family moved to California
and settled in Santa Barbara. He worked for a major printing
company and continued his work as a commercial illustrator into
the early 1980s.
This exhibition features 30 of Dolas’ paintings, from the late 1930s
through the mid-1950s. In addition, 10 Saturday Evening Post cover
paintings by J. C. Leyendecker purchased by Dolas directly from
the artist are also displayed. The museum’s Board of Trustees and
Staff wish to thank Michael Dolas’ daughter and son—Lura Dolas
and Theodore Michael Dolas—for generously sharing their father’s
works and Leyendecker collection with the Haggin and our visitors.

Modern Masters January 17 - February 24, 2019
T his engaging exhibition features thirty prints by modern artists from the 1920s through
the early twenty-first century and is drawn from the Reading Public Museum’s
collection. Early modernists such as Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso, join Surrealists
Roberto Matta, Salvador Dali, and Pop artist Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Keith
Haring in this fascinating look at works on paper from the twentieth century. Other artists
featured in the show include Sam Francis, Donald Judd, Robert Rauschenberg, Mel
Ramos, Raphael Soyer, Sonia Delaunay, François Gilot, Alex Katz, and Jim Dine.
Artistic movements of the early twentieth century such as Cubism, Fauvism and
Expressionism challenged the notion that art
needed to “look real.” By the nineteen-teens,
artists achieved pure abstraction, reducing
forms to expressive lines or blocks of color.
Representational or figurative art was largely
abandoned in the 40s and 50s, when Abstract
Expressionism and Color Field painting took the lead as the reigning international
styles. In place of naturalism, artists emphasized formal elements such as color
and line, infusing their works with emotional content and personal vision. Even as
cutting edge art moved toward abstraction, many artists adhered to the human
figure and representation in their work. Social Realism, Regionalism, Pop Art and
Photorealism continued to enlist the human form as subject matter. Visitors will
be able to explore a wide variety of approaches to both the human form and
abstraction. Some artists included in the exhibition combine elements of both,
while others remain true to nature and to abstraction.
