Enjoy an art appreciation presentation this popular series. Each program includes a light brunch and social time followed by a lecture. This series is presented by museum educator Susan Rosoff.THE FRENCH CONNECTION
For a long time, Paris was considered to be the art capital of the world. This series will explore the impact of artists who lived and worked in France. The session starts with women artists from the 18th century who succeeded in spite of the biases they encountered. Because art has been a powerful force in creating public opinion, next up in the series are artists whose art reflected the power, and failures, of the leadership. Artists from the Barbizon School broke barriers in establishing new ways of painting landscapes, as did Monet, who broke rules with his impressionistic paintings. The Fauves (Wild Beasts) broke conventions with their use of intense color which caused a furor. And last but not least is Picasso, who was world famous for his art. His paintings can tell much about the French women who were his muses.

November 5: POLITICAL FRANCE
Art is a powerful force in creating opinions, and it has often been used by artists to challenge or criticize. Portraits of royalty by Jean-Louis David and Antoine LeGros were copied numerous times and sent to cities throughout France as a reminder of who was in power. Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres became part of Napoleon’s propaganda machine. Théodore Géricault criticized government failures with his Raft of the Medusa, and Eugène Delacroix reflected on France’s growing empire.
