Day in the Life of a Muse tour outline
From the Let’s Talk Tours study group, a tour theme on muses, “Day in the Life of a Muse.” Here’s the introduction to the theme:
This tour led to some very interesting discussions about what is a muse, different types of
muses, sexual or nonsexual, men and women, perhaps places. There was discussion about artists who were muses for one another and their tempestuous relationships, some beautifully inspirational and some very sad.
Video lecture on Bonnard’s Dining Room in the Country
The following link will bring you to a wonderful video focused on Pierre Bonnard’s Dining Room in the Country, which is currently on loan:
“An extraordinary loan from the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, this work represents Pierre Bonnard’s dining room, along with his wife and cats, at his country house in Vernonnet, a small town outside of Paris on the Seine River. Rather than painting from life, Bonnard created the work entirely from memory, foregrounding his subjective responses over an optical experience of the interior and landscape.”
