Next Lectures
Thursday, 24th February by ZOOM 7.45 for 8pm
Expressionism: The Shock of the New Abstract Expressionism is a visual language which can be both destructive and creative, personal and universal and in the United States it gave expression to the optimism and uncertainty of the post-war world. In Pollock’s words, “Today painters … can work from within. The modern artist is working with space and time and expressing his feelings rather than illustrating… Painting is self-discovery.” This lecture will look at the influence of Kandinsky, Picasso and Miro before focusing on the work of Pollock, De Kooning, Frankenthaler, Rothko and Newman. Lecturer: Simone Bloom 
Jackson Pollock – Mural for Peggy Guggenheim
Next VisitsWe plan to restart our day trips in 2022 on Sunday March 27th with a visit to Compton Verney. We had planned to go there in 2020 but cancelled due to Covid.
The Compton Verney Estate was acquired by Richard Verney in 1435 and the house was rebuilt in the 1730’s. Further remodelling took place under Robert Adams in the 1760’s and of the grounds by Capability Brown in the 1780’s. The house was sold in the 1920’s and went through a series of owners and was also used as a film set for several films including Peter Hall’s celebrated Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, starring a young Judi Dench, Helen Mirrem and Ian Richardson. It was opened to the public in 2004 and has themed collections of Chinese Art, paintings from 'Golden Age' of Neapolitan art from 1600 to 1800, Northern European Art from 1450 to 1650, British Folk art and British Portraits. Further details, costs and a booking form will be provided in the New Year.
