Trevor Shimizu 

"Using paint as a means to engage with his environment, Trevor Shimizu’s work has always taken its cues from whatever subject is “at hand” – a sentiment famously attributed to impressionist painter Pierre Bonnard. Over the past several years Shimizu’s environment has changed. Whereas his earlier work reflected the roles taken up and activities that filled his life in New York City, his recent paintings are a means of processing his life and studio now oriented away from the metropolis and situated on the Hudson River."

Please join Art History Professor Heidi Saleh for an upcoming lecture examining Claude Monet’s celebrated 1908 Venetian campaign.

Designed as a companion to the Monet and Venice exhibition currently on view (3/21/26 – 7/26/26) at the de Young Museum in San Francisco, this talk will explore the historical and stylistic context of Monet's time in the Floating City. We will analyze his approach to seriality, his technique for capturing light on water, and how these canvases fit into the broader trajectory of late Impressionism.

Whether you have already visited the de Young exhibition or are planning a trip, this lecture will provide a deeper framework for appreciating and engaging with these works.
