Gene Wisniewski, professional artist, teacher, author

There’s an art to viewing art. Gene Wisniewski’s full-color book includes 45 full-page reproductions, history, fascinating and human backstories, and information pertaining to every conceivable aspect of visual art.

    • When was the first art made?
    • Who decides which art is “for the ages”?
    • What is art’s purpose?
    • How do paintings get to be worth tens of millions of dollars?
    • Where do artists get their ideas?
    • And perhaps the most pressing question of all, have human cadavers ever been used as art materials? (Yup.)

Experience an insightful book talk and lecture on learning the basic principles of how to approach, analyze, and appreciate great works of art as an artist would.

Discussion will include viewing art as both a physical object and the expression of an idea, art in the context of its time, and the elements of composition. (Includes light lunch)  Books will be available for purchase at the event for book signings.
