The artists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries redefined the significance of the painted surface in the rapidly changing Parisian art world, pitting traditionalists against newcomers who would turn the art world upside down. Challenging time-honored traditions of classic painting genres, artists such as Édouard Manet, Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, Suzanne Valadon, Georges Seurat, Henri Matisse, and others created a path for a new canon of modern art. In this course, we explore the lives and works of artists of the Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, Symbolist, and Fauvist periods within the context of the changing social and political environments surrounding them. This course will be recorded. Students will have access to the video for 30 days.
