DAVID HOCKNEY - THE OLD MASTER OF THE MODERN WORLD
We are delighted to welcome back Douglas Skeggs, lecturer at The Study Centre Christie's, TV presenter and novelist as our guest lecturer in March.
From the early sixties, Hockney’s paintings have shown a charm and humour that sets them apart. A naturally gifted draftsman, his love of ingenious visual devices has led him to experiment with a whole range of techniques, from stage design to coloured paper making. This lecture follows Hockney’s career as an artist whose imagination has never faltered from the early abstract expressionist images, through his famous Californian scenes of swimming pools to the photo-montages of the mid-eighties.
New members and guests welcome. Guest can attend up to 2 lectures per programme for £12 per lecture.
The lecture is also available on zoom to members.
