Wednesday 12th May at 2pm
Looking at art is a wonderful way in which to focus the mind and lift the spirits, so would you like to spend a little time with me each week considering works of art? If so, please join me on Zoom, when I am giving a series of Gallery Talks called ‘My Favourite Paintings' to concentrate your thoughts on Art History for an hour.
Each talk is on one work of art and I'll share insights, discussing aspects such as the subject matter, historical and social context of the painting, the life of the artist and the techniques and materials they empIoyed. I welcome questions in the chat box and attempt to answer as many as possible.
The painting that I'll be discussing is 'Studland Beach' (c.1912) by Vanessa Bell, in Tate Britain.
This is the last in the 'My Favourite Paintings' series for the foreseeable future. As museums and galleries begin to re-open, I hope to be able to organise some Gallery Talks visits over the summer and plan to resume my Art History courses in London galleries in the autumn.
If you would like to join the next talk of the 'My Favourite Paintings' series, on Wednesday 12th May at 2pm, please message me via the Contact form, and I'll send you the payment details and, on receipt of payment, the Zoom meeting link. The fee for each talk is £10.
I very much look forward to talking to you about Vanessa Bell's 'Studland Beach' on Wednesday afternoon.
