- Instagram, Fri, May 31, 7 p.m. | Join @PAM_CUT for an inventive evening of film and music. The Tomorrow Theater presents musician @CoreyJBrewer performing a live score with the 1927 silent horror comedy "The Cat and the Canary,” regarded as one of the most influential films in the early history of American genre cinema. With plenty of trickery and treachery on screen to match the inventive artifice of the film itself, “The Cat and the Canary” is a stylized saga of murder and madness, directed by German Expressionist filmmaker Paul Leni.

- Instagram, 📢 Just announced: Opening June 8, an intimate grouping of 14 works will coincide with “Monet to Matisse: French Moderns,” providing a number of provocative parallels between exhibitions. “Pissarro to Picasso: Masterworks on Loan from the Kirkland Family Collection” spans nearly a century and follows revolutionary changes in art in Europe and the U.S. From a monumental 1887 canvas by Martin Johnson Heade, the landscape form transmutes from Heade’s highly detailed canvas to Claude Monet’s light-filled Impressionist masterpiece “Banks of the Seine River near Vétheuil,” to Chaïm Soutine’s blood-red expressionist 1918 “Southern Landscape.” Two still lifes by Pablo Picasso trace the shift from the astonishing 1912 debut of cubism with “La Glace” (Bowl of Ice Cream) to its mature form in 1938. Also included are rare landscapes by Henri Matisse and Georgia O’Keeffe, and a stunning scene of lovers floating in the night sky by Chagall based on stories in “Thousand and One Nights.” 👀 Members see it first on June 7! Take 15% off all new memberships when you join online with promo code SP2415SM (expires 6/6/24). Join at the link in bio → — Marc Chagall (French, born Belarus, 1887–1985), “Les Fiancés ou Souvenir de Mille et une nuits,” 1973–75. Oil on canvas; 51 1/4 × 35 in.
