  • Exit Through the Gift Shop
    Exit Through the Gift Shop
    When British stencil artist Banksy traveled to Los Angeles to work, he came across obscure French filmmaker Thierry Guetta and his badly organized collection of videotapes involving the activities of graffiti artists. Inspired, Banksy assembled them with new footage to create this talked-about documentary, and the result is a mind-boggling and odd film (so strange as to be thought a hoax by some) about outsider artists and the definition of art itself.
  • The Impressionists

DateFriday, March 7, 2014 at 12:08PM

Florence, Italy (click photo for larger image)I’m thrilled to announce that I will be leading a Warnborough Travel Program in Italy in from October 15 through October 29, 2014. Our journey will focus on the Italian Renaissance in the broader contexts of Greco-Roman Antiquity, the Middle Ages, the proto-Renaissance, the International Gothic Style, the Early Renaissance and the High Renaissance. Our exploration will also include a look at the Northern Experience and Early Mannerism as they relate to developments in Italy. Through a series of visual presentations and guided tours, we’ll explore the cultural giants of the 14th through to the early 16th centuries in Italy (and beyond). Participants will see some of the most amazing monuments and works of art ever created. Come and develop an enlightened perspective on this highly significant period in the history of art and learn why it still remains so important today. Our journey will take us to Rome, Siena, Florence and Vatican City. If you have any questions, please contact Libby Geiselmayr (libby@warnborough.edu) or CALL 1.888.886.WCUK ext. 101. This program will be limited to 24 people—so make your reservations NOW!!
