1. Tevlin Talks Art
Suzanne Tevlin is an artist, art historian and

The Impressionist Victory
July 7-Intro, Courbet/Manet - Starting
with the delightfully narcissistic,
anarchistic, and incredibly handsome
Gustave Courbet, our first artist to refuse
to toe-the-line, we will consider the
political, technical, and societal changes
that made these new independent
attitudes possible. We will then introduce
the great trailblazer Eduard Manet.
July 14-Manet/Pissarro – We will
discuss Manet’s masterworks of 1863,
and go on to reveal his relationship with
the younger artists who, inspired by his
work, formed the new group.
July 21-Monet – Young up-start or
genius of colour and texture, Claude
Monet’s work changes everything.
July 28-Renoir – The incorrigibly kind
and gregarious Jean Renoir fills his
canvasses with joy, sensuality, and
colour. Not financially blessed, Renoir
worked very hard to create his delicate
illusions of pleasure and bonhomie.
August 4-Degas – One of the finest
draftsmen of his generation, Degas’
honest and unflinching eye created some
of the most timeless and significant
images of the era.
August 11-Women We will discuss the
work of Berthe Morisot, Mary Cassatt,
Eva Gonzales, and all the other female
artists in the Impressionist movement.
August 18-Caillebotte & Others – An
important benefactor, and quite a good
artist, Gustave Caillebotte helped ease
the way financially for the Impressionists.
We will talk about his work, and the work
of some other, lesser known, members of
the gang.
August 25-Whistler & the Anglos – It
would be a shame to leave Whistler out
of the mix. He livened up many a party
with his, often outrageous, behavior, so
he and other artists, from other places,
will add a very nice finish to our series.
Oh, he was a terrific artist as well!

Campbell House
Built in 1822, Campbell House is the
oldest surviving building from the
Town of York and an outstanding
example of Georgian architecture.
Saved from demolition and moved to
its current location in 1972, Campbell
House was home to Chief Justice
William Campbell, who in 1826
presided over the trial of the rioters
who destroyed William Lyon
Mackenzie’s printing press, a
significant early test for freedom of
the press in Canada.

The Impressionist Victory
Summer Art Lectures with
Suzanne Tevlin at
Campbell House
Everyone loves the Impressionists, but
how many understand the history and
controversy behind the movement. Who
were the leaders of the group, those
young up-starts who changed our way of
looking and thinking about art forever?
What was their raison d'etre? The
freshness and joie de vivre so often
portrayed in these Impressionist
paintings has always had the ability to
take viewers to a gentler and more
pleasant place. Suzanne will guide you
through the aesthetic, psychological,
political, and technological innovations of
a movement that captured the spirit of
the times, as well as the imagination of
artists and art lovers throughout the
world. 8 weeks
