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.
