Encore! Mt Morris

Painting Our Legacy on The Canvas of History
Paper

EXPERIENCE Claude Monet
MEET THE DARING PIONEER OF IMPRESSIONISM
with First Person Artist
Scott Shepherd


Whether he was speaking high atop his Japanese bridge, walking amidst his paintings of water lilies, or reliving the challenges he faced by obstinately adhering to his own vision, Monet teaches us how to let our fascination and love for life prosper. In doing so, we can see our goals overwhelm the obstacles that authority or conventional thinking would otherwise put in our way. Using slides, monologue, theatrical demonstrations, and audience participatory re-enactments, this is a rare opportunity to experience my unique and engaging interpretation of one of the world’s greatest painters.

The son of a grocer who against all familial opposition chose to be an innovative artist, Monet was convinced by his mentor that painting directly from nature was the best approach to art, and broke with the rules of the artistic
establishment. Strongly determined to educate the public to this new way of seeing, he led the impressionist painters to mount exhibit after exhibit in the face of public ridicule. This continued until the academic tyrants and press were by-passed by the impressionists’ popularity.


Scott Shepherd performed with Encore! Mt. Morris as
Leonardo da Vinci in 2018 and Michelangelo in 2019.
