MASTERWORKS OF AMERICAN PAINTING -- PART 3 -- FELICIA BROWN
Do you, like many Americans, tend to overlook the achievements of our native artists in favor of the Great Masters of Europe? Would you like to learn what makes a work of art "American"? And how do this country's greatest paintings depict its rich history?
Join Felicia Brown in the last part of an inspiring three-part trip through the exciting years of American painting, from the first hesitant explorers to the unrivaled geniuses of the early 20th century: from the colonial period to World War II.
The first two of three classes in this last session will expose us to Charles Eakins and Winslow Homer. These lectures will be presented (on DVD) by an eminent professor, art historian, scholar and lecturer will highlight intriguing details of the times and experiences of each artist, analyze representative works and point out those characteristics which make them noteworthy. His deep passion for the subject will leave you enthralled. Following each DVD lecture, author and art lover Felicia Brown will lead a class discussion about what you have just seen.
The last class, by popular demand, will be a lecture by Felicia Brown, based on material she has researched, that will expose you to trends and artists from World War I to World War II.
With this course, LLCC will have offered three courses covering American painting. This is the last of those three courses. This course has three class sessions.
Felicia Brown spent a third of her working years teaching French language and literature, and the rest running an investigations unit for the Superior Court in San Jose. At retirement, she dived back into her first love: the fascinating (but impractical) field of art appreciation. She has previously facilitated two art courses: a visit to the NY Metropolitan Museum of Art, and a visit to the Louvre in Paris.
This is a three session course. Purchasing a ticket for this course entitles you to attend all three sessions.
