About the Class
This one-day workshop will focus on paintings in the Barnes collection with gardens or landscapes as their subject. Artists and garden designers share a strong sense of “place” and a heightened perception of the sensual qualities inherent in nature. How have painters been able to express this sensitivity in their work? How have gardens historically been represented? These will be some of the guiding questions throughout the course.
Capacity: 18 students
