ARH 3032 IMPRESSIONISM
The seminar will focus on French painting from about 1860 to 1900. We will examine the work of such leading artists as Manet, Monet, Pissarro, Sisley, Degas and Renoir, as well as that of lesser-known members of the group. We will also look at the influence of proto-Impressionists painters, including Boudin and Jongkind, and consider issues of gender and the role of women in the movement. Emphasis will be upon the stylistic development of Impressionist painters. Mandatory attendance at all required field trips and writing workshops.
