132-02A FRENCH IMPRESSIONISTS PART TWO - Julie King
Starts 14 May, 1-3pm, 3 Tuesdays, $23
The French Impressionists are among the most celebrated painters in the history of European art, and their modernity and consciousness of change form a link with our time. In this course we consider the modernity of their vision, and examine their development of a new pictorial language for the representation of modern life. In the first term we looked at the art of Claude Monet. In Term 2, we will explore the work of three artists: Edouard Manet, Auguste Renoir, and Edgar Degas. Julie King is an art historian, formerly Senior Lecturer in Art History at the University of Canterbury.
