Arts Programs
Much of the history of art concerns understanding artists' intentions, struggles, and evolution. The canvas itself presents us with significant evidence for understanding a painter's oeuvre and the development of painting. Such evidence includes brush work, paint layering and surface repainting, and composition. Examine works by Titian, Rubens, Ingres, Turner, Degas, Seurat, Matisse, Cezanne, and van Gogh, and abstract artists, such as Kandinsky, Mondrian, Pollock, Rothko, and de Kooning to understand their achievements and their contribution to the evolution of painting. One class takes place at the Metropolitan Museum.
Tuition includes museum fees.
