Art Narration

 
“Once upon a time, as the troubled moon glowed softly through the Japanese forest, the Lady of Shalott would forsake her medieval loom to make eyes at a blind Modigliani whilst a scheming Pope conjured a cosmic revolution with the sacred stone of Michelangelo.”

Art narration on site

The more conventional term for what I am offering here would be “Art lecture”. But why take an exciting subject like the history of art and make it overly formal and dry?

Art is a wonderful never-ending story about the real and imagined world of human expression. So, when you choose to travel through Renaissance Italy, Surrealist France, or 18th cent Japan you will always discover a boundless picture book of creative symbols waiting to shed light on past, present and future.

Whether it’s in a classroom, conference hall, theatre, or private living room the art historian before you will approach the subject as a narrator would. The goal is to go beyond the surface of beauty, read within the artistic movement, entertain your mind, engage your heart.

There are many chapters to choose from, so if you are weary of our contemporary world’s superficiality and would like to indulge in serious art appreciation enjoyment, let the Art narration begin.
