The Art Salon, hosted by the SaddleBrooke Fine Arts Guild, is a place where like-minded artists come together in a friendly environment to bond, network and learn from one another. Meetings are held the third Wednesday of each month from 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. in the Topaz Room at the Arts & Crafts Center adjacent to the Mountainview Country Club. All SaddleBrooke residents are invited to join—whether or not they’re a member of the Guild. Refreshments are provided, no reservations are needed and there is no charge.
The next Art Salon will be on Wednesday, April 17, and the topic is Part Two of The Golden Age of Illustration. Our facilitator, Terry Flanagan, a SaddleBrooke resident, returns to continue the discussion he started at our January Salon. We will dig deeper into questions like: What are the various definitions of illustration and “fine art”? Where is the line between illustration and fine art drawn, if at all? When was the Golden Age, who were its major participants? What forces contributed to its rise and demise?
Terry is a retired lawyer and lobbyist who puts a contemporary style twist on the Japanese print method. He is presently concentrating his artistic efforts on Southwestern culture and history.
