Make yourself comfortable, grab a drink, maybe even your dinner, and click on the link you were sent to join the Zoom presentation…then sit back and watch Post Impressionism: From the Ballet to the Moulin Rouge. In this lecture, ArtScapades will explore how Post-Impressionists both extended Impressionism while rejecting its limitations; the artists continued using vivid colors, a thick application of paint and real-life subject matter, but were more inclined to emphasize geometric forms, distort forms for an expressive effect and use unnatural and seemingly random colors. This lecture includes a look at the lives and works of Edgar Degas, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and Suzanne Valadon. To register for this lecture, send an email to clahey@norwalkpl.org and you will receive an email with a link to join.
