Due to overwhelming demand for tickets to the lecture with Paul Hayes Tucker and James Glisson, we’ve added an additional afternoon session the same day! Paul Hayes Tucker will now be giving a second lecture at 3pm in the Mary Craig Auditorium at SBMA.

Join us for this conversation with Paul Hayes Tucker, influential art historian, curator, and author who has been hailed by Time Magazine as one of America’s foremost authorities on Claude Monet and Impressionism. In this talk, he will discuss the impact and legacy of the Impressionist movement within the Santa Barbara Museum of Art’s superb collection of 19th-century French art. SBMA’s collection includes four dazzling paintings by Monet, currently on view together for the first time as part of the special exhibition Encore: 19th-Century French Art from the Santa Barbara Museum of Art.

Tucker has authored 11 acclaimed books, including Monet at Argenteuil (1982), Claude Monet: Life and Art (1995), and Monet in the 20th Century (1998). For over 40 years, Tucker has been a professor at institutions such as the University of Massachusetts, Boston, UC Santa Barbara, Williams College, and Yale University.

Please note that general registration opens on November 24, and members will receive early access through that date.
