Peter Trippi to speak at Allentown Museum

| The Pre-Raphaelites and 19th-Century England's Other Visionaries: Fantasy Artists Ahead of Their Time? with Peter Trippi - Sunday afternoon, July 22, 2012. The Allentown Art Museum - 31 North Fifth Street, Allentown, PA 18101 | |
 | Many of the artists in At the Edge: Art of the Fantastic say they are inspired by the emotionally intense, highly detailed, and richly colored scenes created by Pre-Raphaelites from the 1840s onward. This talk with Peter Trippi reveals just how radical the visions of these passionate young men were in their time, and also draws a line backward from Rossetti, Millais, and Holman Hunt to the similarly charged compositions of such forerunners as Blake, Palmer, and Flaxman. Peter Trippi, in addition to his long list of credentials, is the editor of Fine Art Connoisseur Magazine. |
