SE*ED: French Art: Impressionism and Post-Impressionism

Grinnell Regional Medical Center will host Dale Fisher, Curator of Education at the University of Iowa Museum of Art, at the Senior Education Program August 17.

In this presentation, Fisher covers the progression of art in France from the early 19th century to the early 20th century. This time of innovation and artistic genius is explored, beginning with Jacques-Louis David’s neoclassic paintings during the French Revolution, discussing the masterpieces of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, and ending with Pablo Picasso and his Les Demoiselles d’Avignon.

Fisher will be using visualizations and PowerPoint slides to show audience details and history of the specific works that can be viewed at the University of Iowa Museum of Art.
