For many Halloween is a time of fear and fright. Join me in class where we'll take a plunge into the darker side of art history looking at some works that are strange, weird, and frightening. Including Edvard Munch's The Scream, Bacon's Portrait of Pope Innocent X, and Fuseli's The Nightmare. We'll talk about the history and inspiration for ten of art histories more frightening works of art. Through a combination of lecture and discussion, students will see some strange and wonderful paintings from the Renaissance to today. Well known names including Fredia Kahlo, Peter Paul Rubens, and Francisco Goya, all painted terrifying scenes connecting to their personal histories and history occurring around them.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I teach art history to college students at a local community college. This is a lecture I will give them in our class on October 29th.
Please message me for a full list of artworks discussed in this lecture. Images are not always pleasant including paintings of Saturn Devouring His Son, Studies of Anatomy, and a skeleton smoking. We'll talk about learning anatomy from real human forms, and stories of the ancient gods that inspired works. Reviews
