In Person: Maritime Art: From Ship to Shore

In this lecture, ArtScapades will look at how the sea has been depicted from 17th century realistic seascapes to 20th century abstract water views. Featured artists include JMW Turner, Friedrich Casper, Claude Monet, Gustave Caillebotte, Paul Signac, and Winslow Homer (pictured, On the Lee Side).

ArtScapades lectures look at the important artists of the period including background information on each artist’s life and work, characteristics of style, and the relationship of the artistic movements to historical and intellectual currents of the time.

Wine and cheese will be available.
