SUMMARY:Great Railway Stations - Art Society Talk
DESCRIPTION:5 APRIL 2022 \n2.00pm – 3.30pm \nIf you think of St Pancras International or New York Grand Central you imagine long romantic journeys. You know they are special places promising excitement and adventure. But there are dozens of other glorious stations in the UK and abroad. We will take a journey around some of the most evocative and splendid stations in the world. We will look not only at the magnificence of the architecture and the brilliant engineering but will discover numerous artworks within the stations and examine many depictions of stations in art – like Claude Monet’s Gare St Lazare or William Powell Frith’s Paddington.

It’s lavish\, colourful and fun. \nIan Swankie is a Londoner with a passion for art and architecture\, he is an official guide at Tate Modern\, Tate Britain\, Guildhall Art Gallery and St Paul’s Cathedral\, and gives tours around each venue.

SUMMARY:The Magic of Patterns - Arts Society Talk
DESCRIPTION:1 MARCH 2022 \n2.00pm – 3.30pm \nFrom the Alhambra to William Morris\, patterns can be gorgeous\, yet pattern has often been dismissed as “mere ornament” in comparison with painting. We will discover what a mistaken view that is as we look at the ideas that inspired some of the great pattern inventors and traditions from around the world. We’ll see that whilst some glorious effects depend on very simple patterning procedures\, others can be wonderfully clever\, as we watch patterns evolving across the screen in beautiful animations. \nDavid studied History at Oxford\, and from 1968-82 worked for Nottingham Castle Museum. From 1982-98\, he lectured in Museum Studies and Art History at University of Manchester and has published a book about museum practice with Manchester University Press\, Exhibiting Authenticity (1997). \nPRESENTED BY DAVID PHILLIPS\nTalks in the Fittleworth Village Hall at 2:00pm on the 1st Tuesday of each month.

SUMMARY:A Garden like no other: Edward James & Las Pozas - Arts Society West Sussex
DESCRIPTION:6 JULY 2021 \n2.00pm – 3.00pm \nIn the depths of the Mexican jungle lies an enchanted valley in which strange ruins tower over waterfalls and pools. It seems like the remains of a lost civilisation\, but the arches and stairways were built only in the last century by Edward James\, a rich English eccentric and Surrealist. Ranging around the world and across the 20th century\, this colourful lecture tells the story of Edward James and Las Pozas\, introducing along the way an array of intriguing characters\, and exploring the wider theme of the modern artist-gardener. \nHaving studied History at Pembroke College\, Cambridge\, James Russell enjoyed a lengthy stint selling contemporary paintings and sculpture in Santa Fe\, New Mexico\, an experience that inspired him to begin writing and lecturing on 20th century art. Of his dozen or so books\, one was a Sunday Times book of the year\, while his writing has been described by critics as ‘insightful’\, ‘informative’ and ‘enjoyably readable’. The curator of two major exhibitions at Dulwich Picture Gallery\, James has lectured across Britain and beyond. He prefers to lecture without notes\, drawing on wide-ranging original research\, and on in-depth knowledge of the subjects that fascinate him. \nWhilst Covid-19 restrictions are in force our Talks will be delivered via Zoom at our usual meeting time\, that is to say\, at 2:00pm on the 1st Tuesday of the Month. We will email all members with the link to join these Talks in the week before they are due to take place.

DESCRIPTION:4 MAY 2021\n\n2.00pm – 3.00pm \n\nPRESENTED BY NICOLA MOORBY\nThe story of the epic rivalry between the two giants of British art\, JMW Turner and John Constable. As unlike in background and temperament as their paintings were in style\, these two creative geniuses transformed the art of landscape during the nineteenth century.

She studied at the University of York and Birkbeck College\, London. Formerly a curator at Tate Britain she has curated a number of exhibitions and has published widely on J.M.W. Turner\, including contributions to the forthcoming online catalogue of the Turner Bequest. She is also co-editor and author of How to Paint Like Turner (Tate Publishing\, 2010). \nPLEASE NOTE!\nWhilst Covid-19 restrictions are in force our Talks will be delivered via Zoom at our usual meeting time\, that is to say\, at 2:00pm on the 1st Tuesday of the Month.
