Two lectures which examine the more traditional styles of painting as well as the more modern.
Alice White, contemporary artist and lecturer, provides a painterly perspective on famous artworks from 17th to the 21st centuries. Rembrandt and Turner are revealed as artistic risk-takers, whose new combinations of glazes, surfaces, pigments and processes re-defined the language of painting. These two forefathers of experimentation led the way for modern artists such as Pollock and Fontana, who went beyond the brush, the canvas, and the gallery wall itself, in search of the meaning of making.
Sandwiches & tea will be provided in the interval.
