    The first of this three-part lecture series, examines the science of color as it was understood during the age of Impressionism and the challenges to this understanding when confronted with the color transformations found in the aging or ailing eye. Dr. John S. Werner, Distinguished Professor at the University of California, Davis Eye Center, will discuss how Impressionist painters, from Giverny to the Monterey Peninsula, attempted to capture the fleeting effects of light and color present in the retinal image.

    On Tuesday, May 17, the topic will be “On the Canvas,” and the topic on Tuesday, June 14, will be “Across the Life Span."

    Event is free with Museum admission.
