Jim Herbert, Professor of Art History and Visual Studies, UC Irvine, will discuss how the great French impressionist devoted the latter years of his career to creating paintings, drawings, and sculpture that were both traditional and modern. While he revived older motifs, such as the classical nude, he did so with an eye to modernity, inspiring artists from Picasso, Matisse, and Bonnard to Maillol.
