About Getty Voices

Faces_Voices

Getty Voices is a multiplatform social media project launched on February 4, 2013, in which a different member of the Getty community—typically a staff member, but sometimes a scholar, a docent or volunteer, or an invited speaker, performer, or writer—is the voice of the Getty’s social media for one week.

Getty Voices aims to make the Getty’s social media truly social, from the inside out. It also aims to dramatically expand the number of voices we can share with you. Our goal each week is take you even further behind the scenes with the work of the Getty community; to share our knowledge, thoughts, time, and enthusiasm; and to answer your questions, benefit from your insights, and learn more about what you are interested in and what you value. We hope to be creative, interesting, and useful—and sometimes provocative and funny.

Look for a new post in Getty Voices each Monday here on The Iris, and follow Voices throughout the week on our dedicated Twitter and Facebook.

Have a suggestion for what we could do better? Do more of (or less of)? A topic you’d like to hear about or a voice you want to hear from? Please share your thoughts with us.

    How can I be certain to receive The Getty iris each time it’s published? It’s just excellent!

      Hi Hugh! Many thanks for this kind comment and your question. A few folks have asked about this today, and we will implement an email subscription service so that you can receive notifications when we have new posts (or weekly digests). Thanks for visiting the Iris!

    Will the play “Helen” presented last year be shown again? If not, is it possible to view a film of it?
    Thanks.

      Hi Hugh, Not this year; we present a new play each fall. We don’t typically film the outdoor theater productions, but I’ll let our programmers know that this would be of interest. Thank you!

      Andrea del SartoVarious studies, c.1520’s

      Son of a tailor (sarto). Andrea became one of the best loved artists of Florence. Vasari had good things to say about him.

      …Andrea del Sarto, in whose single person Nature and art showed all that painting can achieve by means of drawing, colouring and invention: and indeed if Andrea had possessed a little more boldness and daring of spirit, to match his very profound judgement and talent as a painter, he would, there is no doubt at all, have been without equal. 

      Browning wrote poems about him:

      Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp,
      Or what’s a heaven for?

      His drawings are natural, graceful and sensitive, an excellent draughtsman.

      …and he was very much in love with his wife… (something we don’t often hear about Renaissance artists!)

      Our curator Julian Brooks is in Florence now researching del Sarto for an exhibition in 2015.
