Some lived in the city all their lives; others made their mark during brief visits. Come learn about ten of these women in this fascinating talk.

03/10/2015 00:00:00 Two Distinguished Exhibitions: Celebrating Two Passions of British Artist Howard Hodgkin Northeast

City of Toronto All Events http://ift.tt/1K2es42 The two exhibitions celebrate Hodgkin's fascination with India. "Visions of Mughal, India" features historical works from Hodgkin's personal collection. These include stunning elephant portraits, detailed paintings and drawings of flora and fauna, depictions of daily life, royal portraits, and illustrations of epics and myths produced in the Mughal court between the late 16th and early 19th centuries. "Inspired by India" displays Hodgkin's very own powerful and expressive hand and his deep connection to India. The exhibition features eight paintings created by the artist between 1970 and 2014. These vivid, boldly coloured works demonstrate Hodgkin's one-of-a-kind style and confirm his status as one of Britain's best painters.

03/10/2015 00:00:00 Ho Tzu Nyen – The Cloud of Unknowing Downtown Free

City of Toronto All Events http://ift.tt/1ztsHnc The Cloud of Unknowing is titled after a fourteenth century mystical treatise on faith, where the cloud paradoxically acts as a metaphor for both an impediment to, and reconciliation with, the unknown or the divine experience. Shot in a decaying block of vacated apartments in the remote outskirts of Singapore, The Cloud of Unknowing is fittingly flooded with ghostly presences. Ethereal clouds infiltrate and invade the homes of the eight characters, culminating in hysterical confrontations with inscrutable specters. Each vignette is based on characters drawn from Western European artworks by such artists as Tintoretto, Caravaggio, Francisco de Zurbarán, and René Magritte, as well as the Eastern landscapes of Mi Fu and Wen Zhengming.
