Art History Lectures with Adrian Sumner
Monday 28 April
Paris in the Belle Epoque
Impressionists, PostImpressionists, Symbolists,
Fauves and Cubists
From the 1890s to the Great
War, Paris was the centre of
the artistic world, generating movement after movement in fine art fro the
ferment of artists who
gathered there fro all over
the world.

Monday 19 May
Blooming Marvels
Flowers in Art
Throughout history the
language of flowers has
fascinated and beguiled us,
and artists most of all.
Venue:
All lectures take place at
The Council Chamber
78 Church Road
Northwich
CW9 5PB

We will see how the
Romantic movement and
the Salon gave way to
successive waves of innovation, created by artists who
have shaped not just
Modernism, but the way in
which we see the world.

This lecture looks at the
effortless genius of Manet,
the Worldly Beauty created
by Monet and the Impressionists, the rush of colour
and emotion generated by
Van Gogh, Gauguin and the
thrilling diversity of PostImpressionism, the dreaming other-worldliness of
Symbolism and Art Nouveau,
and the Shock of the New
confronted by Fauvism and
Cubism. And the School of
Paris itself, of course.

This lecture looks at the art
of flowers, in landscape and
in vases, from Ancient Rome
to Modern-day Kew, taking
in the Tulip Madness of the
Dutch Golden Age, Monet’s
paintings of his famous
garden at Giverny, Art
Nouveau’s obsession with
poppy, convolvulus, and
sunflower, William Morris’
endless invention in textile,
wallpaper and print,
Redoute’s Roses, plus a
wealth of botanical illustrations to suit all tastes.
