Artscapades: French Impressionism
May 13, 2019 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

From Studio to Plein Air
In French Impressionism, ArtScapades gives the history of factors that brought the movement to Paris including the redesign of the city, the growth of the café culture, the impact of the Industrial Revolution, and advances in materials and technology.
ROBIN HOFFMAN and JODI STIFFELMAN began ArtScapades in 2009 after teaching art appreciation for ten years in the New Canaan public school system. This is their eleventh series of lectures at New Canaan Library.
