In this final lecture we saw a number of examples of the "legacy of Impressionism/ Post-Impressionism"- most notably the art movements that came after, and the photography and cinematic movements impacted by the work of these artists. Finally we discussed early collectors of the Impressionists (and other pioneering artists of modernism) and viewed trailers for a number of films set in 19th century Paris and the world of the Impressionists.
MODERN ART AND VALUES (money, community, legacies, wealth and power!)
In the following clips Jeff Koon's tries to sell the idea of "artistic community", Christie's trumpets its record sales, Alice Walton feels she's contributing to culture, Bill Maher disagrees with her, and Maria Altmann- the niece of Adele Bloch-Bauer finally gets her Klimts back.
