Join renowned local Art Historian Professor Karri Fritz-Klaus as she dazzles us with a five-part symposium of the intricacies of the Fine Art Masters at work.

This month: Vincent Van Gogh
Ninetenth century France comes radiantly alive as it opens a window into a burgeoning world of art. It was an extraordinary age; a moving story of courage and creativity in the convergences and divergences of an unlikely fivesome: Monet, Toulouse-Lautrec, Van Gogh, Gauguin and Cassatt. Like any co-existing "family", these pioneers prodded, inspired, irritated and encouraged each other to view art, not divorced from life but as an affirmation of life--and a life fully lived. |
