1st April

 

Hello everyone,

 

I hope, like me, many of you were able to attend the Turner Always Contemporary exhibition held recently at our own Walker Art Gallery. There were works both by Turner and contemporary artists demonstrating the enduring impact of Turner on later generations. There was certainly much discussion generated by the chosen diverse art works between my friend and myself whilst at the Walker.

​

I am a big fan of the cinematic experiences offered by both the Light Cinema New Brighton and Fact Liverpool. The Turner and Constable, Exhibition on Screen in March was well worth the effort. Wonderful to sit in the comfort of a cinema armchair and see the paintings interpreted by a team of four experts. One was Nicola Moorby who was one of our monthly lecturers some years ago. You may well remember Nicola’s talk for us about Turner and Constable.

​

I was able to follow this with a visit to Tate Britain for Turner and Constable. Rivals and Originals. Excellent. We are truly blessed to have such a wealth of cultural experiences at our fingertips.

 

And now I can look forward to the next lecture on Monday April 20th.

​

                From Vincennes to Sevres - The Dawn of the French Royal Porcelain Manufactory.

​

Anne Haworth will be our guest speaker.
