Join award-winning art history educator JANET MANDEL for an online class on the bold visionary, Félix Fénéon.

Félix Fénéon was an important figure in the art world in Paris in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He paradoxically combined an unremarkable career as an obscure civil servant with avant-garde artistic sensibilities and deeply anarchist political convictions. He was the first to champion Pointillism, Fauvism and Futurism at a time when art was on the verge of the shift to modernity. A passionate collector of the works of Seurat, Signac, Degas, Bonnard, Modigliani, Matisse, Derain, Vuillard, Toulouse-Lautrec, Braque, Severini, Balla, among many others, he also amassed a considerable number of works from Africa and Oceania that hung alongside paintings and drawings by contemporary artists on his walls. Come and learn about this influential art critic, editor, publisher, dealer and collector by examining a critical selection of the works that so inspired his keen eye and bold, forward-looking vision.
