Monsoon Grey Centre for Design (www.monsoongrey.com) in collaboration
with Gallery Gitanjali,Panjim has launched Zeitgeist, the first Art
History Club in Goa (details below).
The first open session held on March 4th to explore the beginnings of
Modern Art was very well received by the participants. The session
traced the prehistory of modernism discussing the seminal works of the
Neo-Classicists, Romantics and Realists. Special emphasis was laid on
the role of Manet in subverting the artistic languages prevalent in the
19th century and in sowing the seeds of modernism in European art.
The club is facillitated by Apurva Kulkarni, an art historian, who
looks forward to sharing his knowledge in this area with registered
participants. The next session will be *IMPRESSIONISM*, the first
movement in modern art featuring the artworks of Monet, Renoir,
including a special emphasis on Degas.
