The artist Henri Matisse wrote that he wanted his paintings to be “an armchair to come home to.” In this class we will spend time with individual works of art, exploring their many-layered meanings from our own armchairs. We will look to discover new ways of seeing and enjoying the many gifts of art. Each class will include brief ”armchair” visits to museum exhibitions, some nearby and some from other times or places. From these visits, single works are selected for longer contemplation. Discussions are encouraged and everyone is welcome.
