Art History with Kerrin Meis at Book Passage

Three Fridays: Nov. 1-15 • 10:00-12:00 pm • $100

Masters of Light: Sargent, Sorolla & Zorn

John Singer Sargent, expatriate American, Joaquin Sorolla
y Bastida of Spain, and Anders Zorn of Sweden are recognized as brilliant
portraitists. It is, however, their scenes of everyday life and the luminosity
that results from their handling of paint that deserve our attention. All three
were widely traveled and their paintings reveal much about the locales they
explored. This class was inspired by the exhibit opening at the Legion of Honor
on Nov. 9 about Anders Zorn. Students may arrange a group field trip to the
museum. Field trip not included in fee. Kerrin Meis taught art
history at SFSU for ten years and now lectures for the College of Marin and
Dominican University. She leads study tours in Europe. Her Book Passage classes
have been big favorites for years.
