ART HISTORY

Additional artists included in the course are Rembrandt, Vermeer, Rubens, van Gogh, Mondrian, and many other important Dutch and Flemish painters. We will also discuss major movements of art and the artists’ relationships with the historical and social background of their time. At each session, we will view works by three or four artists and learn interesting facts about their lives, the characteristics of their art, and their contributions to art history.

WOMEN PAINTERS OF THE HUDSON RIVER SCHOOL
Kate Petterson | Museum Educator Considered America’s first art movement, the 19th century Hudson River School is defined by sweeping landscape paintings. The most recognized names of painters of this style are Thomas Cole, Asher B. Durand, and Albert Bierstadt. But who were Sarah Cole, Josephine Walters, and Harriet Cany Peale? We will explore works by these and other women painters of the period to learn about how these women defied social norms at a time when artists were mainly men.
COURSE CODE: HUDW Sec. 01: 2 Thursdays, 5:30-7pm. Jan. 13 & 20 | $75
