A Potpourri of Summer Delights: Part II
Join Me in Paris!
Gertrude Stein wrote that “Paris was the 20th century.
It was the place to be.” Artists and collectors from
almost everywhere came to this famous city of light in
the early 20th century and became part of the legend.
Although much has been written and told of these
luminous times, more information is constantly being
uncovered. This course will attempt to bring you
closer into that very charmed circle.
Six Lectures
- Four Americans in Paris - Gertrude, Leo, Michael and Sarah Stein knew that they
stood on the threshold of a new idiom, a new art and a
new age.
- Modigliani and Diego Rivera, Roommates - Though different in style and temperament,
Modigliani and Rivera shared a very supportive
friendship.
- Chaim Soutine and Marc Chagall - Two Jewish artists from Russia faced the sometimes
overwhelming challenges of working in Paris.
- Lee Miller and Man Ray - Lee Miller came to Paris seeking the photographer
Man Ray, and she found her world.
- Picasso and Dora Maar - Picasso can be thought of as the Crystal Chandelier,
but Dora Maar was just one candle.
- Suzanne Valadon and Maurice Utrillo - Valadon was the mother of painter Maurice Utrillo, as
well as a talented and recognized artist in the heyday
of Bohemian Montmartre.
