In case anyone is just catching this series for the first time, the previous posts are:

class 5: Cubism: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1427099/posts

class 4: Expressionism: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1424087/posts

class 3: Cezanne and van Gogh; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1419876/posts

class 2: Impressionism and Post-Impressionism; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1414727/posts

class 1: Realism: Manet and Homer; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1410117/posts

My goal is to do three or four more "lectures" in the next two weeks: American Modernism (O'Keeffe, Dove, Hartley); Abstract Expressionism (Pollock, Rothko etc.); Pop and Minimalism; Postmodernism (if time).

Then I'm going on a long trip, with questionable internet connections. But when I return, I would love to get requests for any other periods about which anyone would like to learn.

I should probably do a Liz-like "test" before I go, though....

How about Japanese art that seems to have influenced so many?
Textile art?
Graphic art (Patrick Nagel)?
So much to review, so little time.

I'd like to see a piece on portrait painters, from Gainsborough to Cassat, Reynolds, Sargent and beyond.

I find portraits fascinating. They bring the famous, infamous and the sometimes obscure to life. History is always illuminated and sometimes illusions are deflated when viewing a portrait.

I must confess I spent a lot of time viewing a special showing of John Singer Sargent's portraits at the Smithsonian during some March for Justice tourist time.

I loved to see what the wealthy grande dames of his time looked like, how they and their children dressed, the hair-dos, the jewelry...all the details.

I cheerfully admit it was a woman's thing for an hour or so, LOL.
