The (brief) story of modern art
Explore the major ideas, movements, and artists that shaped modern art from the late 19th century through the mid-20th century. We trace how artists responded to a changing world by challenging traditions, experimenting with new materials and techniques, and finding new ways to represent modern life.
From Paul Cézanne to Frida Kahlo, this overview of modern art examines the innovations and shifting perspectives that defined one of the most influential periods in art.

American art after World War II
Explore the bold new directions American art took after World War II. This presentation looks at the remarkable range of art that emerged during this period, including Pop, Minimalism, and Conceptual art. Together, these movements challenged long-held ideas about the role of the artist, the nature of the art object, and what art could be.
Impressionism: changing the way we see art
This presentation offers an overview of Impressionism and its influence on modern art. We look at how artists explored modern life through loose brushwork and a new interest in light and color, then pushed those ideas further through Neo-Impressionism and Post-Impressionism.
Along the way, we see how new approaches to color, light, and expression changed the way artists made—and viewers experienced—art.

Understanding contemporary art
Contemporary art can be surprising, thought-provoking, and full of new ideas. This presentation explores art made since the 1960s, looking at the ideas, questions, and history behind it.
We’ll look at some of the ways contemporary artists challenge ideas about what art can be and how it can be made. Along the way, you’ll develop practical tools for looking at this era of art with confidence.

Georgia O’Keeffe in New Mexico
Georgia O’Keeffe’s paintings of the New Mexico desert and its distinctive forms are among her most iconic works. This talk explores how O’Keeffe made her way to New Mexico and what she found and loved once she arrived. We’ll focus on her paintings of Ghost Ranch, as well as the many works inspired by her beloved home in Abiquiú and its surroundings.
