About the Class
This class is postponed. New dates will be announced as soon as possible. Email the Education Department to be alerted about new dates and registration.
Pissarro, Modigliani, Soutine, and Pascin were not only important impressionist and post-impressionist artists but also Jewish artists. How did their faith influence their outlook and their art? This class explores the lives and work of four foreign-born French artists who had a profound effect on their century and our own.
Each week, the main lecture is followed by a 30-minute discussion session that allows students the opportunity to ask questions and exchange ideas with the instructor and classmates.
