Impressionism: From Manet to Monet

with Sean Crum

Impressionism revolutionized art, rejecting convention in favor of bold strokes, vivid color, and fresh vision. Sean Crum will discuss examples of impressionist art by Manet, Monet, Degas, and Renoir.

The Impressionists forged a new way of painting and looking at the natural world. They challenged historical conventions that stood for centuries and created a new vision based on direct observation, bold brush strokes, high keyed color, and a keen awareness of the science of perception. The art of Manet, Monet, Degas, and Renoir are featured.

Sean Crum has been a professional artist, printmaker, art historian and musician for over 40 years. He was awarded a Master of Art degree from Case Western Reserve University in 1977. Sean has received over 40 art and educational awards, been featured in 12 one-man shows and has been accepted into over 60 juried shows. Sean conducts museum tours at the Cleveland Museum of Art & the Allen Museum of Art in Oberlin, Ohio and has done numerous workshops, demonstrations and art-history presentations for various local organizations.
