In 2018 we have studied Cezanne, Bomberg and Art Nouveau and will be starting to look at painters active during World War I.
We have visited Southampton Art Gallery Behind the Scenes in 2016, the Ashmolean in Oxford in 2017 and Pallant House, Chichester in 2018 with a trip and guided tour around the Watts Gallery planned for this month with an Educational grant.
In 2019 we finished our studies of artists involved in WWI and have looked at Kandinsky, Burra, Chagall, Klee and Ben Nicholson. We then took a quick look at modern art’s ”isms” ready to start Art Deco this month.
From November 2019 to February 2020 we studied the artists of the Bauhausand and are now looking at Surrealism.
