A ‘Tea and Talk’ will be hosted by the Fitzgerald Museum and the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts to mark the opening of a series of watercolors by Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald.
Willie Thompson, Executive Director of the Fitzgerald Museum, will start the program with a talk on Zelda’s life and times. The Curator of Art, Lynne Ausfeld, for the Museum of Fine Arts, will follow with an examination of the artwork itself.
As part of the talk, the Southern delicacy peaches and biscuits will be served. This is a dish that Fitzgerald claimed urged him to drive Zelda from New York to Montgomery in the summer of 1920 just to get.
The exhibition will display many watercolors that Zelda created as of the 1920s, including paper dolls. She painted the dolls for her daughter, Scottie, but she continued to make them until the 1940s.
There are also four watercolors, two of which are landscapes of the countryside in Asheville, North Carolina, which surround her primary hospital, Highland Hospital.
The "Tea and Talk" will begin at 10:30 am on June 20 and will be held in the Weil Print Room of the Museum of Fine Arts. The exhibit itself will continue until August 23. Most likely the Museum is turning to various print companies to help with promoting both the talk and the exhibit by Flyers and other print media.
