Anarchism is often connected with contemporary art forms such as street art, interventions and graffiti. But it has a much older association with a diverse range of artistic practices. Many of the French Impressionists, Post Impressionists and Cubists, believed their work was anarchist art, including Pissarro, Signac and Gris, and in this seminar Dr Michael Paraskos will ask how a bucholic landscape by an artist such as Pissarro could ever be an act of anarchism. In doing so he will suggest one of the ways to conceptualise anarchist art practice is through the paradox of the atheists’ heaven.
