During guided art discussions, we study art by engaging in a conversation about it. Each participant is actively involved in looking at art, verbalizing their thoughts and feelings, sharing ideas and listening to others. The guide provides an art history perspective, steers the discussion and ensures its safety.During this event, we will continue discussing the art of Mondrian, this time focusing on his abstract paintings. We will talk about how the artist developed his ideas from figurative art, through Cubism to what he famously called Neoplasticism. We will discuss typical paintings of this latter period, such as “Composition with red, yellow, black, blue and gray” and “Lozenge composition with yellow lines”, and will conclude the discussion by talking about Mondrian’s very last (and partly unfinished) painting, “Victory Boogie Woogie”.The discussion will have the following parts (some may repeat):<ol><li>Introduction of participants.</li><li>Exploration of artworks by participants.</li><li>Group discussion of artworks.</li><li>Reflection on the exploration and discussion steps.</li></ol>The objectives of guided art discussions are:<ul><li>Widen the participants&#x27; knowledge of art.</li><li>Discuss art with like-minded people.</li><li>Practice slow/mindful looking at art.</li><li>Practice talking about art.</li><li>Learn about different perspectives on art from other participants.</li></ul><h3>🎟 Tickets and Cancellation Policy</h3>The event price is €20 per person.
