Lecture | Woodmere Artists and the Barnes Foundation Art Appreciation Classes

 

Since 1925, the storied galleries of the Barnes Foundation have been classrooms for generations of artists around the world. This includes many artists represented in Woodmere's collection as well as beloved Barnes's instructors such as Harry Sefarbi and the Pinto brothers (Angelo, Salvatore, and Biagio). Join Barnes senior instructor Kaelin Jewell as she dives into the kinds of lessons Woodmere artists such as Julius Bloch, Peter Paone, Razel Kapustin, (whose works are currently on exhibit in Strange Narratives, Resilient Bodies), and others learned during their time studying Matisse, Picasso, Cézanne, and Renoir at the Barnes.
