Adelaide
From $350.00
Event
Held over four Saturdays during the exhibition season, each lecture connects directly to themes explored in Monet to Matisse: Defying Tradition. Through masterpieces on loan from the Toledo Museum of Art, including iconic works by Monet, Matisse, Cézanne, Picasso, Van Gogh, Renoir, Degas, Morisot, Mondrian, Whistler, Frankenthaler, Rauschenberg, and more we'll uncover the epic stories behind great paintings and the people, places, and periods that shaped them and discover how artists broke boundaries, defied conventions, and reimagined what art could be, and responded to the social and political upheavals of their time.
Session 1: Impressionism & Post-Impressionism – Breaking with Tradition
Discover how Monet, Renoir, and Cézanne challenged academic norms, embraced light and colour, and laid the foundations for modern art.
Session 2: Dada & Surrealism – Art as Rebellion and Dream
From Dada's absurdity to Surrealism's dreamscapes, learn how artists responded to war and chaos through imagination and provocation.
Session 3: Cubism & Futurism – Fracturing Reality
Explore Picasso and Braque's radical rethinking of space and form, alongside Futurism's obsession with speed and technology.
Session 4: Abstract Expressionism & Beyond – The Power of Gesture
Trace the rise of expressive abstraction in mid-20th-century America and its global impact.
