Learn Art Styles with Lisa: Romanesque to Post-Impressionism

Articulate and friendly young adult host Lisa guides viewers through Romanesque to Post-Impressionism, a general overview of eight major art movements from the 1100s to the 1920s. Condensing nearly 1,000 years of Western art and architecture into less than a half-hour, the program obviously eschews in-depth coverage, focusing instead on three major works (24 in all) representing each movement, discussing both the historical context and design characteristics. Offering a good basic appreciation of Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassicism/Romanticism, Realism, Impressionism, and Post-Impressionism, the program concludes with a list of artists and works. The other titles in this three-part series (series price: $75) are Fauvism to Nonfigurative and Regionalism to Installation Art. Recommended. Aud: I, J, P. (E. Gieschen)
