Dan Connolly is volunteering his considerable art history knowledge to the Center for a series of four lectures on major periods of art from the 19th century to the present. 

This first talk is on Realism and Impression and begins with paintings by Gustav Courbet, considered by some as the first modern artist for his independent gallery and his political and social commentaries.  Dan will talk about developments in those artists who continue the trend of  painting their contemporary world, especially  Manet, Monet, Degas and Renoir.

Dan, who has a Ph.D. in art history from University of Chicago, has taught art history at Western Michigan University and Augustana College. 

The lectures are open to the public.  Suggested donation of $5 for each lecture will benefit the Ludington Area Center for the Arts.

The other lectures in the series are:

April 9 - Symbolism and Cubism
April 23 - American Modernists
April 30 - Abstract Expressionism
