SUMMARY:Personal Color Harmony and Frontiers of Impressionism
DESCRIPTION:All color fits into unique color harmony tones. Impressionist painters became hyper focused on the changing colors in nature and finding different harmonies in each season. The seasonal color theory used in Personal Color Analysis evolved from the color theories of the Impressionist movement. \nKerry Jones\, an international industry leader and innovator in personal color analysis based in Rochester\, NY\, utilizes the color science of the Impressionist painters and other artists in determining the most flattering colors for her clients to wear. Over the last two decades Kerry has consulted thousands of clients who are now radiating in their colors all over the globe. She also has created unique personal color analysis products to help people look and feel their best\, simply and naturally. \nDuring this lecture\, Kerry will share the color theories that she uses\, developed by artists\, and will show the link between personal color and the colors in nature and art\, using examples from our Frontiers of Impressionism exhibition. You may never see the colors in people\, the seasons\, or a work of art the same after understanding the connections. Kerry will also do a demonstration on how personal color analysis works with volunteers from the audience. \n\nTo submit a request for ASL interpretation\, please email access@mag.rochester.edu at least two weeks before the program. \nFor questions about this event\, please contact MAG Engagement Manager Jessica Gasbarre at jgasbarre@mag.rochester.edu. Ticket sales end on Thursday\, November 6\, at 6:30 pm. Ticket includes museum admission.
