Inspired Encounters With Art
Art has its own language with a vocabulary
consisting of forms, motifs, colors and expressive
content. Within the arts, there are a range of
recognizable disciplines and, in each category, we find
unique artists with innovative brilliance that sets
them apart from their peers. The famous French art
historian, Andre Malraux, wrote, “If the great artist’s
way of seeing is quite different than that of the
ordinary man, the reason is that his faculty of sight
has been educated, from its earliest days, by paintings
and statues; by the world of art.”
This course will consist of discussions of several
outstanding creative personalities, their inspirations
and their masterworks. Archival films and images
will abound.
Six Lectures
- Architecture and Design - Stanford White and Louis Comfort Tiffany, friends and
collaborators
- Painting and Printmaking - Toulouse Lautrec and Alphonse Mucha
- Movies and Dance - Rudolph Valentino and Fred Astaire
