Enjoy an art appreciation presentation with 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.

September 24: WOMEN OF THE SALON
In 18th century France, being a woman artist was a particular challenge. For the most part, the Royal Academy was a male space. During its 150-year long history, the Academy rarely welcomed women as full members. Yet some women succeeded. Anne Vallayer-Coster, Adelaide Labille-Guiard, Marie-Guillemine Benoist and Elisabeth Vigée-LeBrun are artists who, despite the odds, became successful during this period.
