  • 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
    The Impressionists
    A dramatization of the Impressionist movement as seen through the eyes of Claude Monet. Highly entertaining and informative.
  • The Impressionists: The Other French Revolution
    The Impressionists: The Other French Revolution

Modern and postmodern artists were ALL—without exception—influenced by the masterworks of the past. This single-session presentation will give you a chance to visit with masters from many of the critical periods and movements of art—throughout the ages—and to find out a few things about each of them (and their eras) you may not know. You’ll also discover how later artists and periods were influenced by earlier ones, in ways that will surprise you. How did medieval stained glass and illuminated manuscripts inspire Henri Matisse? What does Renaissance art have in common with Expressionism? Which Modernists…were Mannerists? Join us to see a very different take on some of your favorite art and artists. You’ll see that the Past always remains very much alive in the Present—and that there are many different ways of looking at art!

This program will run from 2:00 – 3:30 PM on Sunday, April 19, with the last 15 minutes devoted to a Q&A session.
