ÉDOUARD MANET: A GLIMPSE INTO HIS LIFE, HIS ART, AND THE VIBRANT TIMES IN 19TH CENTURY PARIS 

This presentation on Manet, a lifelong Parisian who is often called the Father of Modern Art, provided details on his life, his art, and the times in 19th Century Paris. We went into influences on his art, his style, techniques, and subjects. We looked at and discussed some of his most admired paintings and talked about his legacy in the world of art.

Presenter Joyce Felsenseld, a longtime faculty member at Stuart Country Day School in Princeton, joined the Princeton University Art Museum Docent Association in 2016. She has a passion for teaching, the arts, traveling, and all things French. She enjoys being a docent, sharing her knowledge and love of art with people of all ages. Joyce views art as a great connector, celebrating creativity, innovation, diversity, and the human spirit.
