This program is an in-depth examination of the modern movement in French art from Post-Impressionism, Fauvism, and Cubism to Surrealism. Through lectures, discussions, and field trips to museums in Nice, St. Tropez, Aix-en-Provence, and St. Paul-de-Vence, the course will focus on artists who painted on the French Riviera, including Cézanne, Matisse, Picasso, and Léger. The program is located at the historic Château de La Napoule four miles from Cannes on the Mediterranean. Students will live in the Château or on its grounds in the beaux-arts Villa Marguerite. No prerequisites.
