Post-Impressionism In Its Own Right: Online Class
2023-02-21 10:00 - 11:00 (America/New_York) | Bethany Arts Community, 40 Somerstown Rd, Ossining, NY, 10562, United States
Join Jill Kiefer, Ph.D. as she leads her Online Course series for BAC entitled: “Post-Impressionism In Its Own Right” for 6 Tuesdays, 02/21-03/28, 2023 from 10 – 11 AM.
Discussions of Post-Impressionism are often limited to its relationship with Impressionism. But this diverse and distinctive movement stands very much on its own—having traveled quite different paths than those explored by the Impressionists. Indeed, Post-Impressionism embraced the past, the present, and the future—and its influence remains a force today.
In this program, we’ll focus on the key Post-Impressionists (Seurat, Cézanne, Van Gogh and Gauguin) to examine their unique achievements. Which ones most avidly pursued symbolic and subjective meanings in their art? How and why did structure, optics and order become the obsession of others? In what ways did their combined efforts and aesthetic visions define what would become the modern idiom? Join us as we seek the answers to these questions, and identify how Post-Impressionism fits into the broad tapestry that is art history.
