Introduction to Virtual Programing
Membership offers you pre-recorded, live presentations by Jane Blair to view as many times as you like.
These videos are actual, spontaneous ArtMatters performances, presented to live audiences, only edited for time. The recordings were all created pre-pandemic, and intended for internal training purposes, so please forgive the less than perfect filming. Enjoy them for their unpredictable, one might say "charming" quality.
You also have an option of a live, interactive, zoom presentation.
This Month's Presentations:

Impressionism
The Impressionists were painters of light, painters of nature, and painters of human nature. Having little in common, except a common enemy, the Academy, artists like Monet, Renoir and Degas defied convention and changed the way the whole world looked at art. Like a stone dropped into a still pond, the ripples from this revolutionary style of painting spread out, influencing a whole new generation of artists. Join us for a close look at many of the paintings that moved the world into the modern era.
Bonus Video - MAY
Post Impressionism
Like a stone dropped into a calm pond, the ripples from the revolutionary Impressionist style of painting spread out, influencing a whole new generation of artists. Artists like Van Gogh, Gauguin, Rousseau and Cezanne, among others, took a small step away from Impressionism and influenced whole new movements of art. Join us for a look at how other artists interpreted this new, personally expressive way of painting, and in turn influenced the course of art in the 20th century.

Women Artists
Until the 20th Century
Women artists, capable of the art of creation as well as the creation of art, have historically proved threatening to the dominant male establishment. There are many examples of how she has flourished and failed, been celebrated or crushed, but in almost every instance, needing to be better than their male competitors to be taken seriously.
Join us for a look and a discussion about the women who have defied convention to make art from the Renaissance through the 19th century.

Of the 20th Century
Women artists, capable of the art of creation as well as the creation of art, have historically proved threatening to the dominant male establishment. In more modern times, our ability to create art was less openly inhibited, but new, modern obstacles arose.
