"Classically Trained: The Gentlings and Music" explores the fascination of Fort Worth artists Scott and Stuart Gentling with the Age of Enlightenment (ca. 1685–1815).
Inspired by advancements in learning and the explosion of creativity during the Enlightenment period, the two Gentlings read extensively about the era, took up period instruments to compose their own music, and sought out texts and artifacts from the 18th and 19th centuries. The exhibition highlights the variety of ways the Gentlings’ immersive engagement with the Age of Enlightenment inspired their art making in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Organized by the Carter, "Classically Trained" features over 20 artworks by the Gentlings, including paintings, drawings, and music inspired by the Enlightenment world. These include a variety of still-life compositions, costume studies, and portrait paintings of period composers, such as Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart. The artworks will be accompanied by Enlightenment-era music as well as musical compositions by Scott Gentling.
