Join us on Tuesdays, 8/30 - 12/13, from 6 - 9 PM for #BarnesClass 🎨 Collection Concentration: Medieval Modern 🎨⁠ -⁠ Vincent van Gogh’s The #Postman is one of the most recognizable works in the Barnes collection. Painted in the South of France in 1889, the portrait presents its subject—a local mail sorter—as a kind of saint. With its rigid pose and penetrating gaze, the painting might even be understood as a modern version of a #medieval icon.⁠ -⁠ In this class, we’ll explore #MedievalArt (c. 300–1400 CE), with all of its distortions and exaggerations, to better understand its profound impact on some of the most well-represented modern artists in the Barnes collection, including #VanGogh, Giorgio de #Chirico, Paul #Cézanne, and Henri #Matisse.⁠ -⁠ 🔗 Register for this class today at the link in bio 🔗⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ 🎨 Left: Vincent van Gogh.
