Week 4: 8/12 Cezanne, Monet, and Renior, – These three artists seem to be the most known artists from the Impressionist time period. Their artworks constitute the most powerful and essential link between the ephemeral aspects of Impressionism and the more materialist, artistic movements of Fauvism, Cubism, Expressionism, and even complete abstraction.
Week 5: 8/19 Degas and Cassatt– Degas was a French artist famous for his paintings, sculptures, prints, and drawings. He is especially identified with the subject of dance; more than half of his works depict dancers. Mary Cassatt first befriended Edgar Degas and later exhibited among the Impressionists.
