Every year, the renowned lectures given by Rosamond Bernier at the Metropolitan Museum of Art are sold out months in advance. Her lectures are really conversations, intimate chats about artists, their friends, their society and their work. Now your chair at home can become the seat you couldn’t buy in New York. These DVD’s are the actual performances filmed as they were given "Live At The Met." As co-founder of L’Oeil, the influential vanguard art magazine published in Paris, Bernier became friendly with Matisse, Picasso, Miró, Léger, Braque, Man Ray, Max Ernst, Duchamp and many other modern masters. These lectures have a depth that only a firsthand acquaintance would allow. CHRISTINA OF SWEDEN Christina of Sweden was one of the most enigmatic women. She collected Greek and Roman antiquities, paintings, drawings, rare books and manuscripts. She also collected people –philosophers, scientists, poets, musicians, artists and (not least) cardinals. Her curiosity had no limits. CATHERINE THE GREAT Catherine the Great of Russia set herself to make St. Petersburg the most brilliant capital in Europe. She built, she bought, she made love when and where she pleased, and she fostered music, painting, literature, the theater and the decorative arts.
