Art Course - British Art 1850-1900 January 4, 2010

Art British Art 1850-1900: from Pre-Raphaelites to the Newlyn School
Our study of 19th century British art starts with the rich history of pre-Raphaelitism, before an examination of Whistler’s atmospheric depictions of London and his harmonious figure studies, Sargent’s society portraits and the classical scenes produced by Leighton and Alma-Tadema. After studying the works produced by the Newlyn artists, including Stanhope Forbes, we shall consider the modern subject matter of Sickert and the Camden Town group.

NB The course previously advertised to start on Thursday 7 January has proved extremely popular and is already full. A parallel class will now be held on Monday mornings.
10 weeks on Mondays from 4 January, 9.30-11.30 am. Tutor: Bernard Allan. Venue:MCH. Fee:£68. Course no: C3727132A
