SUMMARY:Women of Impressionism: Lifelong Learning
DESCRIPTION:This event is open to all adults aged 50+ in the Quebec City area. \nFACILITATOR: Kay Palkhivala \nThis lecture discusses the art of five 19th Century female painters who worked during the Impressionist period\, mainly in France. This artistic style focused on capturing an informal effect or “impression” of a subject\, rather than a studied and formal representation. At the time\, it was heavily criticized by the artistic establishment\, who felt it was a rejection of true art. Today\, Impressionist painting is hugely popular and the works of Monet\, Sisley\, Renoir and Manet\, among others\, command high prices. As is often the case\, the women artists who worked at that time are much less known and valued. This lecture describes their struggle for recognition and demonstrates why they should not be forgotten. \nThis is a hybrid event\, our presenter will be joining us via Zoom\, however members are welcome to attend in person in the Lifelong Learning room at EQLC. \nRegistration is required.\nTO REGISTER: email Catherine at info@lifelonglearningquebec.org\, or call 418.681.1258. \nSpace is limited. \nSign up for the Lifelong Learning mailing list for updates on activities. Questions or concerns? Contact Catherine at 418.681.1258.

SUMMARY:Lady Franklin's Revenge: Lifelong Learning
DESCRIPTION:This event is open to all adults aged 50+ in the Quebec City area. \nPresented by John Felvinci\nWhen Sir John Franklin disappeared into the Arctic in 1845\, it was his adventurous wife\, Jane Franklin\, who kept the search for him alive and\, as a result\, contributed more to the discovery and mapping of the North than any explorer. This lecture is based on a biography from historian Ken McGoogan. Lady Franklin’s Revenge is the richly documented story of a complex\, ambitious Victorian―arguably the greatest woman traveller of the 19th century― and the transformation of a failed expedition into a triumphant legend. Added are the latest discoveries about the expedition in the Canadian Arctic. \n\nThis is a hybrid event\, our presenter will be joining us via Zoom\, members are welcome to attend in person in the Lifelong Learning room at EQLC. \nRegistration is required.\nTO REGISTER: email Catherine at info@lifelonglearningquebec.org\, or call 418.681.1258. Space is limited. \nSign up for the Lifelong Learning mailing list for updates on activities.
