We begin in Paris in the 1870s, meeting maverick young French Impressionists like Monet, Degas and Renoir. In the second session, we explore Post-Impressionism, led by Cézanne, Gauguin and van Gogh. Participants will get an up-close-and-personal peek at the artists' lives and loves during changing, often chaotic times. As we examine their masterful paintings, we'll see how these painters influenced each other and how their groundbreaking work helped usher in the modern era in art. At the center of each session will be a lively slideshow accompanied by insightful videos.

Price: $30

Day/Time: Thursdays, May 7, 14 10:00 a.m. – noon (2 sessions)
