Art History

Neoclassicism and Romanticism: A New Emotional Direction

The art of France, England, and Germany in the late 18th and early 19th centuries centered on inspiring a strong emotional response from the viewer. Art educator, Sean Crum, will be presenting.

Experience how the works of artists such as David, Gericault, Turner, and Friedrich used current events, literature, and the allure of exotic places to tap into the viewer’s emotional reservoir.

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.
