Art and the Great War
Saturday 23 October 10.30am – 3.30pm
Some
of the 20th century’s greatest artists produced their most profound
works as a direct result of the First World War. Explore the way in
which optimism at the turn of the century gave way to doubt and
artists attempted to depict the conflict in the face of strict
official censorship.
Victorian Art: the stories and the scandals
Saturday 27 November 10.30am – 3.30pm
More than any other period, art in the Victorian age tells us a
great deal about the life, morality and attitudes of the time:
their obsession with sickness and mortality, childhood and love,
the ambiguous attitude to woman, the plight of the poor, mass
emigration, and much more.
