Library arts lecturer talks on winter Impressionists

printer friendly version

Special to the Town Crier

The "Impressionists in Winter" exhibit, which opened at the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco on Sunday, reminds us that the French Impressionists painted landscapes outdoors throughout the year.

Carol Nelson, docent for the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, will review this show of more than 60 works tonight at the Los Altos Main Library, 13 S. San Antonio Road.

The free lecture begins at 7:30 p.m. and is sponsored by the city of Los Altos, Friends of the Los Altos Library, and the Los Altos Arts Committee.

Snow scenes they admired in Japanese prints encouraged painters such as Claude Monet, Camille Pissaro, and Alfred Sisley to add wintry landscapes to their repertoires.

Other upcoming arts lectures at the Los Altos Library will include: lecturer Kay Payne, of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, speaking March 3 on treasures from the Victoria and Albert Museum; and Cory Cullinan, a composer and instructor at Pinewood School in Los Altos, talking on writing and performing electronic music.
