landscapes through time with david dunlop - Program 8

Description of Program:
Old Lyme was a popular artist colony at the turn of the century with many painters who had also painted in Paris and Giverny, learning the new trends from the French avant-garde. In 1900 Henry James correctly noted, “If you are looking for American Art you will find it in Paris, if you find it in America it will have a great deal of Paris in it.” David takes us to the Florence Griswold Museum garden and demonstrates how American Impressionists create the sensual experience of interwoven color, texture, and movement from a palette of complementary colors painted outside – or “en plein air,” a term made popular during this time.

Palette: Opaque Pink, Cobalt Violet, Ultramarine Blue, Transparent Red Oxide,
Scheveningen Blue Light, Cadmium Yellow, Cobalt Blue, Violet, and Titanium White.

Guest Artist: Vicki Smith.
