Term: Summer

Description: The Art Studio and Art History Departments working in collaboration with the Center for International Programs at SUNY New Paltz are offering a distinctive On-Site Study Program In Art History and Art Studio program this summer.

The course will focus on plein-air practice in the context of the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist movements in late 19th Century France. The course will give the student a thorough grounding in the major works and artists involved, adding the concrete dimension of direct, personal experience of the places and motifs that informed these movements.

The course will incorporate visits to major museum collections including the Museé dOrsay, the Marmottan and others, along with walking tours in Paris and Aix-en-Provence. Day trips will be taken to key locations like Auvers, Giverny and Arles depicted by artists such as Monet, Renoir, Pissarro, Cezanne and van Gogh. The social, historical and economic contexts for the creation of these works will be explored in depth throughout the course.
