The artist as viewed through the lens of the photographer.
Where does Jorge Lewinski’s reputation lie amongst significant fashion and portrait photographers such as Mario Testino and David Bailey? Have you heard of him? We learn about his prolific career; what made this photographer and how significant his photographs are in revealing the character of each sitter as both a person and as an artist. With an unapologetic focus on 20th century Royal Academicians in particular, although by no means exclusively, this lecture covers Lewinski’s portraits of great 20th century British artists such as David Hockney, Henry Moore, Antony Gormley, Allen Jones, Michael Craig-Martin and Barbara Hepworth. Through the work of Lewinski, we can also explore the artistic contributions that these painters and sculptors have made to the British art scene.
A request for Christmas lunch tickets can be made to Freda Markham after the lecture in September.
