Curious Minds // The Impressionists

Everyone loves the French Impressionists, but how many really understand the history and rich personalities behind the movement? Who were the leaders of the group, those young up-starts who changed our way of looking and thinking about art forever? What was their raison d'être?

Ever since the 19th century, the freshness and joie de vivre of their iconic paintings has taken viewers to a gentler and more pleasant place, but this has sometimes obscured the controversy— and innovation—that the movement brought to Europe’s artistic landscape. Come join artist and educator Suzanne Tevlin as she guides you through the aesthetic, psychological, political, and technological innovations of a movement that captured the spirit of the times, as well as the imagination of artists and art lovers throughout the world.

Led by Suzanne Tevlin, who has lectured at U of T, USMC, OCAD, Parsons-Paris, Musée Ephrussi de Rothschild, and numerous other major museums in Europe and North America. A specialist in art history from the artist's point of view, she is the author of The Conspiracy of Silence; Theodore Gericault's Raft of the Medusa and the Abolitionist Movement.

Mondays, January 13—February 17, 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
