The audience participated by choosing a 4x4 reproduction of an Impressionist or other late 19th/early 20th c. painting (created by Jim: "it's a prop, not a souvenir"). As Claude walked around the room he gave highlights of the chosen miniatures.
What a great way to brush (ha!) up on art history.

Sounds like a great event to participate to. A green and red quilt? Hurry up the RED month is almost over, lollll. Enjoy! ;^)
ReplyDeleteMaybe I don't "get" it, but I think I see a Cassatt, a Gauguin, and a van Gogh in those miniatures?
