Never Underestimate the Power of a Woman!
Throughout history, numerous women have
demonstrated great artistic talent and yet they found
themselves hampered in their struggle by their gender.
Today, women command high prices for their art and
win major commissions in areas like painting,
sculpture, architecture and fashion. They have major
exhibitions in museums and attract considerable
attention for their innovative excellence. Women have
been active contributors to all the modern movements
of their times.

Men of Passion
Where Does Inspiration Come From?
The great painter Pierre Bonnard once said, “One can
find beauty in everything.” While this is true, an artist
must be inspired to represent the loveliness one sees,
hears or dreams. Inspiration comes unannounced and
recognizing that moment of epiphany is necessary and
vital to the creation of art. One can never predict when
that spark will occur and so, the artist must face life
with senses wide open to receive that gift.
Update (5/16/2016): The order of lecture one and two have been switched. The lecture on Amedeo Modigliani will be held on May 17, while the lecture on Michelangelo and Leonardo DaVinci will be held on May 24.
