ART HISTORY411 ARTISTS WHO PUSHED THE BOUNDARIESThursday 7 Meetings 14:00 - 16:00 Tutor: David Price £66.50, £17.00
How the conservative art establishment in France in the early 19th century favoured traditional approaches to painting and how certain artists began to challenge this by exploring new styles like Realism and Impressionism. We’ll also look at the Pre-Raphaelites in England, who rebelled against the demands of academic art. The stand taken by these revolutionary artists allowed more experimentation towards the end of the century, with Cezanne, Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec, Matisse, Braque and Picasso really pushing the boundaries.
