Forty of Morisot's work will be brought together and will be shown alongside the 18th century artists who inspired her. The lecture will be an opportunity to explore in depth the work of this leading Impressionist in depth and place her in the context of other leading women artists. Non members welcome cost £10.

Best known for his outlandish appearances dressed as his feminine alter ego, Claire, Grayson Perry is now a core part of the art establishment, a Turner Prize winner, Royal Academician, popular broadcaster and colourful character. He’s possibly one of the world’s best-known contemporary artists. His works of ceramics, textiles, tapestries and prints are highly sought after. Often controversial, he tackles difficult subjects in a poignant yet witty way and holds a mirror up to modern society. This talk will examine Grayson Perry’s work, his exciting and thought-provoking exhibitions, and the unique character inside the flamboyant frocks. Non members welcome cost £10. Please contact Anna Cross for payment or membership details and Zoom link at membership@radeltt-art-society.co.uk VisitsWe managed to organise some visits and a holiday in 2023.
