ANTIQUE SLIDESHOW presents "Post-Impressionism Art" on Thursday, March 27 at 1:00 pm.

This program will include associated movements including Pointillism, Symbolism, and Neo-Impressionism. While most of the artists featured will be French there will be examples from other European countries and North America. Examples will also include works from a few artists generally regarded as Impressionist such as Renoir’s wispy works painted in his final decade. The speaker will be antiques journalist Bob Jackman. OPTIONAL: If you have art by a Post Impressionist artist, bring it to the show, and Bob will be happy to offer comments. While the talk will be organized around a sequence of 70 slides, the atmosphere will be informal with questions and answers throughout the presentation.
