Event Programme  2024-25

This year’s programme spans some 3,000 years, from the Mayan civilisation of Central America through the 15th century work of Donatello in Renaissance Italy to the contemporary work of Grayson Perry. Along the way we’ll look at the work of society portraitist John Singer Sargent, the changes brought about by the anti-fashion movement of the late Victorian era, the fate of the young British artists studying at the Slade School of Art in the years preceding the First World War, the works of German Expressionist Kathe Kollwitz and, in our final lecture, the great literary and theatrical successes of Oscar Wilde. Tirzah Garwood, wife of Eric Ravilious, was a talented artist in her own right. Our lecture in May coincides with an exhibition of her work at Dulwich Picture Gallery, curated by our lecturer. There’s much to enjoy in the months ahead. Enjoy the ride…
