SUMMARY:Inspired Artists Book Club
DESCRIPTION:“There are moments in our lives\, there are moments in a day\, when we seem to see beyond the usual. Such are the moments of our greatest happiness. Such are the moments of our greatest wisdom. If one could but recall his vision by some sort of sign. It was in this hope that the arts were invented. Sign-posts toward greater knowledge.” –Robert Henri \nJoin Artascope Members for our inaugural Inspired Artists Book Club meeting over Zoom on Saturday\, May 3rd at 10am. \nWe will be offering these discussions quarterly. Catherine Bickford\, Executive Director of Artascope\, will assign the reading material and lead the conversation. \nOur first meeting will cover the iconic book\, THE ART SPIRIT\, by American artist Robert Henri. \n \n“In this book are the essential beliefs and theories of a great teacher and American artist\, Robert Henri. While it embodies the entire system of his teaching\, with much technical advice and critical comment for the student\, it also contains inspiration for those to whom the happiness to be found through all the arts is important. No other American painter attracted such a large\, intensely personal group of followers as Henri\, whose death in 1929 brought to an end a life that has been completely devoted to art. He was an inspired artist and teacher who believed that everyone is vitally concerned in the happiness and wisdom to be found through the arts. Many of his paintings have been acquired by museums and private collectors. Among them are the Baltimore Museum of Art\, the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, the National Gallery of Art\, the Whitney Museum of American Art\, the Wichita Art Museum\, and Yale University Art Gallery.” –Book description from “The Art Spirit” \n  \n  \n  \n\nArtascope Member: Free to attend \nNon-Member*: $10 \n \n  \n  \n*Become a supporting member and attend for free!
