HISTORY IN ART
Tutor: Margaret Mills
Friday afternoons 2.00 – 4.00 Summer Term only
10 weeks: 27 April – 6 July 2018
Culture, change and progress reflected in art
From Georgian times onwards, morals, everyday life, humour, new heroes of the age and critical changes were translated through art, including portraits of some rather scandalous personalities! We look at a selection of works over a period of about 160 years, and ask what these works tell us and what reactions were elicited. We will look at the views of art critic and polymath John Ruskin, and artists such as Beechey, Stubbs, Hogarth, Rowlandson, G.E. Hicks and R.B. Martineau.
Fees £40.00 members
