UK based art historian and lecturer Alice Foster will be presenting a 60minute illustrated lecture titled 'How to Look at Modern Art'
The Modern Art period runs approximately from the 1880's to the 1940's.
Alice will look at the work of Paul Cezanne, Gauguin and Van Gough, and then Picasso and Matisse at the beginning of the twentieth century, and ending her talk with Vassily Kandinsky's famous painting, Cossacks, in 1911, where the narrative has disappeared altogether.
Following the lecture we invite you to join us in the foyer for a glass of wine or sparkling water and a sandwich, Alice will be circulating at this time and available to answer any questions
