Spend a Study Day travelling along the Spanish Coast, examining
the works and legacies of three Spanish artists.
Barcelona grew exponentially in the nineteenth and early twentieth
century and Antoni Gaudi’s commissions enhanced this seaside
city and left an indelible architectural mark on its streets.
The great Pablo Picasso grew up in the Andalucian coastal town of
Málaga, once famous for its wines. His own journey by boat first to
the windy northern town of La Coruña with its wild coastal beaches
and then on to Barcelona will be uncovered during this light-filled
Study Day as we look forward to the Summer.
Joaquin Sorolla caught the fabulous light of the sea in Valencia, his
beloved hometown but he also travelled the length and breadth of
Spain exploring its rituals, music, and dance in mountain top towns
and near the seaside.
