Float Like a Butterfly, Sting Like a Bee:  James Whistler Online Art Lecture

Details

As a leading proponent of the Aesthetic Movement that proclaimed "art for art's sake", James Abbott McNeil Whistler often used the terms "harmonies" or "symphonies" in naming his paintings. His paintings were indeed harmonies of monochromatic tones, yet his personal relationships could be quite contentious. His most famous painting, Arrangement in Grey and Black No.1, commonly known as Whistler's Mother, is his most famous (and often parodied) portrait of motherhood.

The lecture is $10 + $1 Paypal fee for a one-hour lecture per device.

I will email you via Meetup with the Zoom link three hours in advance of the lecture. If you do not receive the Zoom link (after checking your spam box, too), email me at EleanorSchrader@roadrunner.com. Please email me at least 15 minutes before the lecture if you are having any problems connecting.

I look forward to having you join me!
