the paris seminar exhibition catalog 2016
DESCRIPTION
Following in the footsteps of many great American painters before them, a group of young realist artists will travel to Paris, late summer of 2016. They will copy in museums, learn from curators and educators in the field, and paint together as they study pictorial composition and humanities, with the goal of reaching the next level of mastery in their work. A selection of fine art work is hereby offered in this catalog and on view at our two consecutive fine art exhibitions, to help raise the funds for the voyage. All works are available individually for the purpose of funding the Paris Seminar voyage. With your help, we can make art history. For more information, artist bios and exhibition details, please visit www.parisseminar.comTRANSCRIPT
