A Day with Manet (2013/4-AH1)June 15, Saturday, 10:00 am 12:00 pm, lunch, 1:30 3:30 pmEduard Manet (1832 1883) lived through a time of rapid artistic change, much of it initiated by himself. He neitherlooked like, nor thought of himself, as a revolutionary. However, his insistence upon choosing themes fromcontemporary life, and his new range of artistic techniques, inspired a new generation of artists. Why was his art sounique? Insisting that he was not an Impressionist, and never exhibiting with them, why did he have such aninfluence upon the artists who agreed to call themselves Impressionists?Instructor: Hank Steffens

A Day with Degas (2013/4-AH2)June 22, Saturday, 10:00 am 12:00 pm, lunch, 1:30 3:30 pmEdgar Degas (1834 1917) went his own way as an artist. He was closely associated with the whole group ofImpressionists, and appreciated their work, but his subjects, themes, choice of media, and life style were all his own.He insisted in moving his art away from the French artistic establishment, with their accepted techniques and subjectmatter. He successfully tried a wide range of artistic mediums: oil, pastel, chalk, etching, sculpting, and innovativeprint making. His long career spanned the whole development of Impressionism.Instructor: Hank Steffens

A Day with Mary Cassatt (2013/4-AH3)June 29, Saturday, 10:00 am 12:00 pm, lunch, 1:30 3:30 pmMary Cassatt (1845 1926) developed her own unique talents as an artist and was quickly accepted as an equalwhen she moved to Paris in 1875. She was an important member of the group of artists who transformed Westernart in the late 19th century. She was introduced to Impressionism through her friendship with Degas and Pissarro, butsoon established her own style in both painting and printmaking. Late in her career she was involved with the

Columbian Exposition in 1892 and with the introduction of French Impressionist art into America in the early 20 thcentury.Instructor: Hank Steffens

A Day with the Lady Impressionists Berthe Morisot, Marie Braquemond, and Eva Gonzales (2013/4-AH4)July 13, Saturday, 10:00 am 12:00 pm, lunch, 1:30 3:30 pmThese women Impressionists were challenged to find their way as artists in a society that was not accepting ofwomen artists. Their modern reputation is still overshadowed by their relationship to male Impressionists: Morisotsfriendship with Eduard Manet and her marriage to Eugene Manet, Maries marriage to the engraver and printmakerFelix Braquemond, and Gonzaless experience as Manets only student. However, all three women were artists intheir own right. Although their art varied, they were all Impressionists.Instructor: Hank Steffens

A Day with Monet (2013/4-AH5)July 20, Saturday, 10:00 am 12:00 pm, lunch, 1:30 3:30 pmClaude Monet (1840 1926) is usually considered The Impressionist. His hastily entitled Impression Sunrise(1872) provided the name for the whole movement. But his actual relationship to Impressionism is not that simple.The Impressionists were a diverse group of artists who exhibited for only 12 years between 1874 and 1886. Of their8 Exhibitions, Monet participated in only 4. During his very long career he changed from the superb painter of thefleeting moment to an inspiration for modern abstract painters. We will look at the whole sweep of his career to seehow he changed and who he was.Instructor: Hank Steffens

A Day with Gauguin (2013/4-AH6)July 27, Saturday, 10:00 am 12:00 pm, lunch, 1:30 3:30 pmPaul Gauguin (1848 1903) is now known for his South Seas paintings and his image as artist-outsider. His careeras an artist was much more varied and important than that. He started as one of the Impressionists, contributing to 5Impressionist Exhibitions, more than either Monet or Renoir. He then very self- consciously changed his style ofpainting and his philosophical orientation after the last Impressionist Exhibition. He formed around him The Pont-

Aven School which was to have a European-wide impact. He developed Syntheticism in direct contrast andconflict with Impressionism, and he courted the new French Symbolist poets and writers. His search for thePrimitive was part of his intentionally created image of himself as the artist outsider, seeking the true springs of art,away from the decadent modern world. The creation of his posthumous image stands alongside his remarkablyproductive and varied career as a painter, sculpture, print-maker and writer.Instructor: Hank Steffens

A Day with Van Gogh (2013/4-AH7)August 3, Saturday, 10:00 am 12:00 pm, lunch, 1:30 3:30 pmVincent Van Gogh (1853 1890) was a unique artist whose entire artistic career spanned only 10 years. He beganby teaching himself to draw with pencil, pen and chalk. Only when he was satisfied with his ability and confidencewith line did he move on to watercolor and then to oil. Almost from the beginning, the intention of his art was to affectthe viewer and convey his own reactions and feelings. This was displayed at first in his drawings and great oils in theNetherlands associated with his The Potato Eaters and then, after developing his colors during a brief stay in Pariswith the Impressionists, in his many landscapes and portraits. His career was entirely supported by his brother Theo.

Of Vincents lonely and astonishing production of some 1700 currently existing paintings and drawing, only onepainting was sold during his lifetime.Instructor: Hank Steffens
