East Coast and Beyond Art Talks and Tours

Impressionist Claude Monet revolutionized painting by using rapid, broken brushstrokes and vibrant, unmixed color to capture the fleeting, ephemeral nature of light. His technique, focused on the sensory perception of light rather than precise detail, creating luminous, textured surfaces that shifted with atmospheric conditions. As the father of the Impressionists, his art laid the groundwork for successive late 19th and early 20th century art movements.

Morocco is a North African country known for its dramatic blend of Arab, Berber, and French influences, featuring vibrant cities, bustling medinas (city centers), colorful architecture, as well as Moroccan craft techniques, particularly Zellige (intricate mosaic tilework), carved plaster, and ornamental calligraphy. We’ll cover iconic structures such as mosques, palaces, and kasbahs (forts), examining Moroccan culture through its diverse influences, and view the impact upon Spanish Andalusian and Spanish Colonial design.
