There is no name more evocative of Bohemian life, of high spirits, decadence, poverty and revolutionary art in Paris than Montmartre, home to some of France’s greatest artists. Renoir, Toulouse-Lautrec and Picasso would paint canvases that would shake the very foundations of Western art. This lecture sets the scene for Glory Days, leading from 1870 to 1910 when Picasso moved from Montmartre to Montparnasse, the start of our mythical époque.

NB: the Artists of Montmartre Lecture and the Guided walk are two independent events so you can opt to do either or both, but the walk will be limited to 25 participants
