The Art and Lives of the Impressionists

19th Century Paris was the European center of fashion, culture and art. After centuries of domination by the teachings of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, a group of painters, who came to be known as “The Impressionists” rebelled against the strictures of the Academic School, and broke new ground in capturing the light, color and activities of modern life, from the cafés and theaters of Paris to the verdant French countryside. Join our class as we take a deep dive into the lives and works of impressionist painters like Pierre-Augusts Renoir, Claude Monet, Paul Cezanne, Mary Cassatt and Camille Pissarro, as well as the foremost post-impressionist painter, Vincent van Gogh.
Pre-requisite: None but an avid interest in Art History

Notes
Why when I’m registering do I join the Wait List?Several of our courses are in high demand. In order to accommodate our members who are not tech-savvy and have trouble registering online, we created a registration system in which there is no advantage to registering early, no disadvantage to registering later.
When registering, you join the Wait List for each course. Don’t be alarmed. This does not mean the course is full. After the registration period is over, we run a lottery on the courses, and it randomly determines who is admitted to each course and who is not. You typically will receive notification regarding which courses you are admitted to, about two weeks before the start of the semester. If a course accepts 150 or more students, you are very likely to get into it.
