Description

Krannert Art Museum has a large permanent collection of important works which include examples of early stone lithography. For this field trip, the museum has agreed to pull a selection from their archives just for Parkland students to view. Although reproductions of these works are available in many books, to see these original lithographic stone posters up close and at actual size is a very different experience:

• Jules Cheret: Saxoleine (lithograph 1894)
• Alphonse Mucha: Leslie Carter (lithograph 1908)
• Henri Thiriet: Griffiths Cycles and Accessoires (lithograph 1898)
• Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec: Moulin Rouge-La Goulue (lithograph 1891)
• Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec: Jane Avril (lithograph 1893)

A guide will give us a short guided tour of the museum after viewing the posters.

Note: Please be aware that students can only take a notebook, pencil, and small bag into the galleries. Backpacks and large bags should be left in the coin-operated lockers near the entrances, or they can be left with the guard at the front desk.

 

Procedure

We will meet promptly at the time and location specified above. It is recommended that you arrive early at the specified location. Anticipate parking problems. Leave early. If you are late, you may not be allowed to join the tour.

Note taking is highly recommended. Material covered during field trips will be on the quiz scheduled this semester.
