Drake X The Impressionists: Soft Light, Soft Boys
FREE ❤️ Art History X Pop Culture Lectures + Vinyl Giveaway ✨ Welcome to THE BREAKDOWN, where two Austin creatives explain the underlying intricacies behind influential art and music: covering everything from deep dives into Renaissance sculpture to nuanced takes on the best of pop culture 🎨🎧
✨ Soft Light & Soft Boys: The Impressionists & Drake ✨
From June-July, the theme of our arts & humanities club is “The City,” Although at first glance, painters like Claude Monet may seem to have little in common with Aubrey Graham, these artists share a deep commitment to portraying urban life and the myriad complexities of being out in the streets.
In Drake’s own words:
Shakiness, man, I don’t have no time for that
My city too turned up, l’ll take the fine for that
This been where you find me at
That’s been where you find me at
Come join us to better understand the ‘Views’ of these exceptionally influential modern artists.
