Description
French artist Gustave Courbet (1819-1877) didn’t just paint pictures– he picked fights with tradition and changed the course of art. Join Dee as she explores how Courbet, taunted as “the apostle of ugliness,” became the leader of the Realist art movement in the 1850s. You’ll meet Courbet the provocateur: outspoken, arrogant, and fond of scandal, whose paintings sparked outrage and hot debate. His images that were once hidden for their blatant eroticism are still shocking today.
