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.

December 10: THE BARBIZON SCHOOL
The mid-19th century artists of the French Barbizon school collectively embraced their native landscape. Barbizon was a small village at the edge of the Forest of Fontainebleau, where artists particularly loved the rich terrain and were intoxicated by the proud majesty of the old trees. They soaked up the beauty of the forest and the fresh smell – a relief from the smoky industrial environment that was overtaking Paris. Artists included are Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Théodore Rousseau, Jules Dupré, Charles-François Daubigny, Julien Dupré, and Jean-François Millet.
