Art Appreciation Talks with Alastair Eales: Impressionism; A Gentle Revolution

November 25 @ 14:30 - 15:30


Event Information

Join Alastair Eales for an informal afternoon of art appreciation and embark on a journey through Impressionism; the groundbreaking French movement that shaped Western art. Discover the lives and works of visionary artists like Pissarro, Monet, Cassatt, and Morisot. Experience the gentle revolution of this nascent modernist period, where traditional conventions were challenged and redefined. Explore the technological advancements that empowered these artists to capture fleeting moments with extraordinary precision – where light dances and colours harmonise, and reality merges with the intangible.
These talks will last approximately an hour with time for questions along the way.
Alastair Eales is a passionate art historian and PhD researcher. With his wealth of knowledge and infectious enthusiasm, Alastair will guide you through a delightful journey into the world of art at this series of art appreciation talks sharing insights and thought-provoking narratives along the way.
