Lecture with: Prof. John Cino & Wine specialist Lori Devlin

Taking their cues from the Post Impressionists, artists of the early 20 ^th century continued pushing the boundaries of abstraction until reaching the crisis of World War 1. After reviewing the works of the major Post Impressionists this talk will continue with discussions of Matisse and French Fauvism; Picasso and Cubism, Kandinsky and German Expressionism and the Italian Futurists. Each movement developing concepts from Post Impressionism created new directions for later artists as they reached a crescendo at the dawn of WW1.

During the 14 ^th and 15 ^th  centuries artistic developments in Northern and Central Italy and beyond the Alps saw the development of a new artistic language which culminated in the High Renaissance works of Da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael. We will discuss that development from its earliest inception in Tuscany in the works of Pisano and Giotto, its expansion to Milan, Siena and Venice, continue north to Germany and Flanders with the invention of oil paint and end in Rome where the Sistine Chapels lower frescos marked the dawn of the High Renaissance.
