From Monet to Cassatt, we’ll be screening a documentary about one of the Impressionist greats every Tuesday, June 18-August 13*.
This week's film: Exhibition on Screen - Manet: Portraying Life
In this acclaimed film, focusing on the sell-out exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts, London, the film makers ask just who was Edouard Manet - the 'Father of Modern Art'? Viewers will enjoy exclusive access to the show as well as a behind-the-scenes look at the exhibition's preparation. A fascinating exploration of Manet's life and works, the film is a detailed biography of Manet and his environment - a rapidly changing 19th century Paris. Presented by leading art historian Tim Marlow; special guests and contemporary painters provide their analysis. (UK, 2013, color, approx. 91 min.)
*Excludes Tuesdays with scheduled Coffee @ Ten Lectures.
