ONLINE SEMINAR
Whistler: Painting Set Free
$250.00
Whistler painted between countries, traditions, styles. Studying his work gives us the opportunity to consider the purpose of art. From “Whistler’s Mother” to “The Woman in White” to “Harmony in Blue and Silver” and his nocturne series, his experimentation with content and form invites viewers to consider their own perspective, their own ways of seeing, feeling and thinking art. In this seminar, we will trace the development of Whistler’s work and of our own, focusing on four of his most important works.
When: Four weekly sessions on Mondays at 7 p.m. Eastern, starting March 6, 2023
Duration: 2 hours per session
Cost: C$250 plus 13% HST (approx. US$195 plus 13% HST)
Group Size: 12-participant limit
How: We meet on Zoom; you will receive joining instructions approx. 3 weeks before the seminar start date.
Online seminar payments are nonrefundable. Discount codes must be used at the time of purchase.

“If the man who paints only the tree, or flower, or other surface he sees before him were an artist, the king of artists would be the photographer. It is for the artist to do something beyond this.”
