- SPEAKER:
- Richard Houston
Join artist and educator Richard Houston as he investigates and analyzes how artists have historically treated the human figure in their work. Using the Norton Simon’s rich collection of artwork, this course surveys stylistic approaches to the figure throughout time and place. Shape, contour, value and perspective are discussed in each class.
Study some of the new ways in which artists such as Henri Matisse, Amedeo Modigliani and Pablo Picasso explored the human figure in their art. Modernism was, in part, a response to Renaissance and Academic-inspired approaches to art-making.
