"The Age of Revolution: 19th Century Neoclassicism, Romanticism & Realism" with Ruth Grim

The end of the 18th century in Europe and America saw revolutions that would change the course of history in the Western world. This lecture by OMAM Guest Curator Ruth Grim looks at the art movements surrounding this turbulent time, as well as the highly consequential years that followed. Jacques Louis David, Eugène Delacroix, and Gustave Courbet are just a few of the prominent artists you'll learn about. While we often think of “Modern” art as that of the 20th century, Modernism actually began in this time period as the role of the artist had changed. No longer primarily on-demand to wealthy patrons, or the State or the Church, he (or she) was creating from their own volition and inspiration. The artists and works in this lecture will impress as they represent – despite their revolutionary nature – the best of the European tradition. The talk is free, but registration is requested as seats are limited. The program will last approximately one hour. Registration will close when talk is full. Sign up at https://bit.ly/talk820
