January 6, 2015, 1:30 p.m. — Modern Painters and Their Critics
Impressionism, Cubism, and Fauvism are some of the major art terms that were originally coined in negative critiques. Join a conversation about how icons of modern painting, including Monet, Picasso, and Van Gogh, paid their dues through initial critical reception.
Gallery Sessions, impromptu interactions facilitated by Museum educators that explore the creative process, art history, and the experience of art, take place daily in select galleries. Groups meet in the galleries noted on the schedule. Gallery Sessions are free with Museum admission. No registration is required.
Sign language–interpreted Gallery Sessions are held every fourth Sunday of the month at 1:30 p.m. FM headsets for sound amplification are available for all talks.
