Impressionism and Politics: The Cases of Pissarro and Renoir
Thursday, March 11, 2010 7 p.m.
In Washington D.C., the political capital of the world, it is worth reminding ourselves that all human activity, even art, has a political dimension. Join Richard Brettell, Margaret McDermott distinguished chair of art and aesthetics at the University of Texas at Dallas, as he considers the cases of two painters—Camille Pissarro and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Renoir came to a profound anti-modern political stance, based on the assumption that machine-made products are fundamentally evil. Pissarro, by contrast, was a life-long anarchist, who rebelled against his bourgeois family and was a fervent political radical for most of his life. On this enlightening evening, Dr. Brettell will discuss the "politics" of both artists and relate their respective political ideologies to their art.
