Details
In conjunction with TMA’s hundredth year celebration, this Art Talk is dedicated to Henri Toulouse-Lautrec. Toulouse-Lautrec was Montmartre’s premier artist-observer of Belle Epoque. We will spend time discussing his life, the Cafe-Concert scene, and the culture of celebrity that was Montmartre. In doing so, we will examine his paintings, watercolors, lithographs, and posters that immortalized the people and places of the late 19th century Montmartre neighborhood of Paris.
Monthly lectures examine art and artists that have influenced the world, from the great classics of Europe to the art of the Southwest, to the most exciting trends in modern and contemporary art. The Museum will also be open on those days, so bring the family, enjoy the Art Talk, and then wander the galleries!
Art Talks are $5 for non-members; free for TMA members and students with ID.
The elevator to the Alice Chaiten Baker Center for Art Education is temporarily out of order. The building remains accessible through the entrance located on the south side of the building along Alameda, the door is labeled “166.” Please call 520-616-2692 for assistance.
