Art Theory

Some people (hi Jake!!) are not impressed with much of Modern Art. The simplicity of it when compared to the art of other eras can lead us to easily dismiss it. What were these Modern Artists trying to convey? What were they reacting against? Simon Schama has an interesting series called The Power of Art. We'll be looking at some of the episodes to get some answers to these questions. We'll check out his documentary about Picasso first. Snacks too, of course!
