Edouard Manet: The "Father of Impressionism" with Sabry Amroussi
Thrilling

Sabry’s seminars are never dull, but this one was thrilling. Manet’s life and art are fascinating. Sabry highlighted the varied subjects, technique, and reflection of modern life in a selection of paintings—using high resolution images and pointing out strengths of museums. A brief recap at the end of the pro and con arguments for Manet as the father of modern art would be useful.

Deep Dives

Dr. Madden takes some deep dives into the history of Venice. It’s a complex city and he lifts the layers of its history and shines in a bright light. I was especially impressed with his reveal of the relationship of the city’s business backbone and its role in the Crusades.

Impressive expert of Italian literature

Dr. Stasiowski packs a lot in! I learned so much more about Invisible Cities, which I had read before, and about other utopian visions and related topics that were new to me.
