British Modern Art - The Who, the How & The Why.
Tuesday 7th & Friday 10th
To provide a background to Tate Britain's forthcoming exhibition Picasso & Modern British Art, which opens in March, we will look at who the British modern artists were, for instance, Wyndham Lewis, Duncan Grant, Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, Ben Nicholson, Francis Bacon, Graham Sutherland, and David Hockney. Who influenced them and in turn, whom it was they influenced and perhaps we can come to some understanding as to their creative thinking.
Ben Nicholson & Barbara Hepworth: Friday 24th & Tuesday 28th
The Courtauld is hosting Mondrian//Nicholson in Parallel until May. These two talks are designed to give a basic understanding of the way art developed in the 20th century and, in particular, how British Art developed. Nicholson & Hepworth were abstract artists and we will compare them to their British contemporaries and look at how Piet Modrian influenced their creative thinking.
These talks are designed to encourage a rolling discussion and take the format of a powerpoint presentation. Spaces are limited to a maximum of 10 and the price (£10) includes refreshments. Ring 01372 272235 or email ashteadartlovers@gmail.com to reserve a place.
