To understand Art one must understand the times in which an artwork was created. No art is created in a vacuum ,it is a reflection of the influence of the life and times of the Society on the Artist and his own internal struggles to grapple with what was happening around him. Zeitgeist is a membership based Art History Club that will meet regularly to explore art and visual culture in its various forms through lectures and discussion on a wide range of topics such as artists, movement, period, school, theme to state a few.
