WANT A CAREER IN THE ARTS? LEARN ONE OF THESE LANGUAGES FIRST

If you’re looking for a rewarding and intellectually stimulating career in the arts, you couldn’t have picked a better time to start. The sale of arts and antiques globally hit a record $50 billion last year, with the number of deals, openings, and new job openings skyrocketing across the sector.

If you want a career in the arts, whether as a dealer, a curator, an analyst, or a buyer, you need the right skills to stand out. Jobs in the high arts remain incredibly competitive, and even a master’s degree in the topic is rarely enough to break into the roles at the top galleries and auction houses.

MONET AND THE IMPRESSIONISTS IN NORMANDY

In Normandy, Monet and the Impressionists experimented with techniques to depict the landscape as it is.

Normandy was the birthplace of Impressionism and in this post, I will show you the works of artists who, surrounded by a nature of intense colours and sparkling landscapes, made Normandy the perfect place to make art.
