The Power of Color: The Methods of the Impressionists and Fauvists
Peter Eurlings, Art Historian

The revolutionary painting techniques of the late 19th and early 20th centuries completely redefined the art world. Immerse yourself in Monet’s vivid landscapes, Sisley’s harmonious compositions, Caillebotte’s precise use of perspective, the pointillist brilliance of Signac, Morisot’s delicate play of color, and the bold, emotional hues of Fauvist Maurice de Vlaminck. This lecture explores the artists’ use of powerful color, dynamic brushstrokes, and innovative compositions, illustrating how they broke with tradition to capture the fleeting beauty of the landscapes around them.

Broad-minded and Free-spirited: Maurice de Vlaminck in Paris around 1900
Isabelle Runde, Art Historian

Painter, violinist, racing cyclist, autodidact, family man, and author: Maurice de Vlaminck was a multifaceted and often contradictory figure. His early artistic life unfolded between the bohemian quarter of Montmartre and the bourgeois suburb of Chatou, where many of the Impressionists had already painted. From the 1920s onwards, Vlaminck retreated further into the countryside, and his style evolved. This lecture explores the various places where Vlaminck’s works were created­–places that inspired his portraits and landscapes, remaining as diverse as they are captivating.
