This three-day course, aligned with Masterpiece London, explores and examines the period of Modern Art. Beginning with the convention-challenging Impressionists, the course examines the art and modern masters that irrevocably changed the course of art history. Participants will be engaged in art historical study as well as object-based learning in order to understand how the brush and tools created a new kind of art experience. Additional sessions will analyse the current market for Modern Art and recent buying trends. See www.masterpiecefair.com for more details.
