EVENTS
Affordable art in the form of woodblock prints became popular in Japan during the Edo period (1615–1868), and was known as Ukiyo-e, literally “pictures of the Floating World” for their ephemeral nature.
Music and different instruments also play a strong role within symbolism in art. Sophie explores the instruments in selected works and then gives live demonstrations on replicas of the instruments depicted.
With this lecture Caroline explores the central role given to the natural world in van Gogh’s paintings. Depicted with the brightest colours, flowers, setting suns, fields and cypresses are recurrent motifs in his works
