Exploring one of the most dramatic periods in the development of art history, our introductory series of ten evening lectures takes us from 1880 and Post Impressionism through some of the first movements in Modernism. Artists include Gauguin, van Gogh and Cezanne, showing how these pioneers pushed the boundaries of Impressionism to create something new; and Munch, Matisse and Picasso who explored psychology, colour and form in innovative and exciting pictures.
