Description

Join local artist and studio facilitator Royce Deans for a fascinating observational discourse on a couple of history’s most influential artists and art eras. This talk will feature a look at the work of Henri Matisse and its influence on San Francisco Bay Area artist, Richard Diebenkorn. What were their crucial turning points that made them great? See how the more abstract work of Diebenkorn was inspired by the colors, textures, and compositions of Matisse. Curated for art enthusiasts and history buffs, for both artists and non-artists, anyone who appreciates art or would like to learn to appreciate it a little more will enjoy this lecture that dissects art down to its roots.

This event is FREE! All ages welcome. No registration required

Join on zoom. 

This will be recorded and added to the website soon.

Royce Deans was born of parents that understood the important role that art plays in society and how crucial exposure to and participation is to the development of a young person. He was raised in the western suburbs of Chicago with access to museums and concert halls of every variety. Graduating from the American Academy of Art in Chicago gave him the foundation to build a life in the arts.

“Moving to Traverse City some four decades ago set his art on a wonderful trajectory. He counts each artistic endeavor as a rich experience that has shaped him into the artist he is today. Northern Michigan is such an incredibly beautiful place, the landscape has, of course, become an overwhelming source of inspiration.

Royce’s love for teaching and art has allowed him to travel far and wide. His artwork is in collections public and private in the US and in many of the countries of Western Europe, Israel. Highlights of his travels have been presenting classes, workshops, and retreats.
