Nicholas Powers, Curator of Collections at the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley. The title of his presentation will be “From German Auxiliary to American Artist: The Life and Work of Frederick Kemmelmeyer”.\nAt the end of the Revolutionary War, some 3,000 of the 30,000 German troops fighting for the British cause chose to remain in America. Among them was Frederick Kemmelmeyer, a surgeon’s assistant who deserted British forces as they pulled out of Charleston, South Carolina. Kemmelmeyer re-emerged from the war as an itinerant artist working in Baltimore, western Maryland, and the Shenandoah Valley, with a surviving body of work that tracks his evolution from a cultural German to a visually literate German American citizen. In addition to an impressive body of portraiture, including one subject from Carroll County, Kemmelmeyer produced genre paintings replacing recognizable images of European monarchs with American heroes like George Washington. In addition to exploring Kemmelmeyer’s life and extant works, this lecture will also preview the MSV’s upcoming semi-quincentennial exhibition Revolutionary Valley, which will feature works by the artist painted in the Shenandoah Valley.\nThe menu will be released shortly. The cost is $45 for members, $55 for non-members. Please contact Laura Bankard to reserve your place today! Reservations and payments need to be received by October 14.\nThank you to our Exclusive Food Sponsors Bill & Johanna Brown. Currently there is only one Exclusive Sponsorships left:\n\nSpeaker Sponsorship – $500\n\nWe look forward to seeing you on October 28th!\n\n
