SEMINAR PROFILE

A05 -
An Introduction to American Art and Ideas

The Museum of Fine Arts has an outstanding collection of American paintings and decorative arts. This seminar will begin with the art of the Colonial Period with special attention to Boston's role in the Revolution, and then follow chronologically the story of American art to the modern period. Throughout our three days in the galleries we will come to understand how as history unfolds, American art is constantly being reinvented by expanding influences from immigrant artists from all over, not just England. We will also consider the importance for American artists of training in Europe who bring back exciting, new styles. We will come to understand how American art, in all its forms presents, extraordinary masterpieces. The new magnificent setting for this outstanding collection provides a breath-taking idea of the brilliance of American artists throughout our 350 year history.
