Dutch genre paintings of the seventeenth-century show individuals in domestic settings going about their daily activities, such as letter writing, eating and drinking, or making music. Many of these seemingly straightforward scenes, however, contain a moral lesson that is difficult for us to decipher today. In this week’s lecture by the Frick Collection, Edwin Buijsen, Head of Collections at the Royal Picture Gallery Mauritshuis in The Hague will discuss the paintings’ various levels of interpretation by focusing on examples drawn from the museum’s collection, some of which are featured in the current special exhibition.

The face of the United States is rapidly changing. As seen in the 2012 elections, the voting power of minority, biracial, or multiracial individuals signified an important shift in which groups will have a say for generations to come. The Next America project is a multi-platform program that explores how America’s shifting demography impacts the national agenda.
