ArtScapades at New Canaan Library continues the 2019-2020 series, “The Road to Modern Art”, on Monday, July 13 at 7:00 p.m. via live webinar. Please register at newcanaanlibrary.org for Zoom sign in information.
The series continues with “Fauvism and Beyond: From Color to Form,” which will explore the beginnings of Modern Art, starting with two artists – Henri Matisse and André Derain - who explored a new freedom and level of spontaneity in painting. This new style was characterized by vibrant color and expressive brushstrokes, defining the influential avant-garde art movement. The presentation will examine approximately a dozen works per artist, including iconic works and those that illustrate significant trends and events in their lives and careers.
