Description
David Gariff, senior lecturer, National Gallery of Art
The 2020 summer series of lectures presented by the education division explores the theme of Staycation. Many of us may be spending this summer close to home, but we can still dream and learn about beautiful places. In these talks, Gallery lecturers will present a tour of six of the world?s great cities.
Few regions of Europe can rival the French Riviera?s combination of magical light, mild climate, colorful landscapes, and living history. Long a magnet for foreign artists?including Monet, Renoir, Bonnard, Matisse, Picasso, and Chagall?the C??te d?Azur and its scenery, people, and traditions have inspired some of modern art?s most iconic paintings and sculptures. In this lecture, recorded on July 23, 2020, senior lecturer David Gariff discusses the historical significance and impact of the French Riviera on 20th-century art, examining the inspiration artists found in locations such as Nice, Saint-Tropez, and Collioure.
