Inspired Expression: Louisa Chase and the Masters of Modern Art

Weekdays February 23-April 6, 2024

Louisa Chase (1951-2016) was an artist who developed a unique style while drawing inspiration from some of the greatest artists of the modern age: Piet Mondrian, Jackson Pollock, Cy Twombly, Susan Rothenberg and Phillip Guston.  In this program, students will explore the concept of artistic inspiration, looking closely at how artists borrow motifs, imagery, and artistic techniques and combine them with new materials and ideas as a way of creating new artistic forms.
