Tuesday History of Art: Learn & Discuss
Tuesdays 7pm - 9pm
This weekly art history group with an emphasis on painting is led by Linda Polkowski - an academic with a degree in Art History and a love of teaching. Linda's position in this friendly and relaxed group is facilitator. She will endeavour to pull together the various histories that go into making art's past by looking at what scholars, both past and present, have said. She will present these ideas, as well as some of her own, to the group and invite the group to discuss them. ---------------------- ++NEW++ Our friendly Art History Discussion group resumes on Tuesday evenings from 22nd October and this time we will be looking at 19th Century art from a global, but predominantly Western, perspective. The 19th Century was a time of revolution, social change and shifts of focus in the visual arts from Neo-Classicism to Romanticism to Realism, amongst others. Each session outlines the influence of the socio- historic backdrop of the period. You can come to all the sessions or just one - each session can be considered a "stand alone" unit. Come and join us to learn more and express your opinions in a relaxed environment. Tuesday 22nd October: Romanticism in Art The shift away from the Neo-Classical tradition and images from the US and various nations in Europe. Includes Caspar David Friedrich, Turner and Blake. Tuesday 29th October: Realism With a focus on everyday subject matter, we look at the Barbizon School, the Peredvizhiki Group and related English, French and German art. Tuesday 5th November: The Pre-Raphaelites, Victorian Classicism and the Arts and Crafts Movement. The trend away from celebrating the industrial age and corresponding art movements in other nations.
