The Artists Series

This lecture is an exploration of key artists whose commitment to explore one specific subject, exhaustively, brought depth and innovation to their work. We will begin with Monet, the true author of this movement, and look at successive artists, including Bonnard, Cézanne, Matisse, in the early to mid-twentieth century, and others who followed this path in contemporary times, such as Jim Dine and Jennifer Bartlett, Diebenkorn and others. This survey inspires us all by what can happen when one shows up consistently to their creative work over a period of time.
