Overview
Some of the most dramatic revolutions in the history of art occurred at the beginning of the Twentieth Century. Late 19th century French Impressionism presented new artistic concepts on matters of painting, colour, sensibility and subject matter. Under heavy ridicule these pioneering artists led the way for daring art movements to unfold in the decades that followed. Over three meetings, using the National Gallery’s collection, supplemented by prints from other museum collections, we will uncover the core concepts of some of the art movements that contributed to 20th Century Abstraction by the Post Impressionists, Picasso, Kandinsky, Malevich, Mondrian, Duchamp. The Canadian response will be demonstrated in the ground breaking works of Canadian artists in the Twentieth Century.
