Adrian Sumner 2024 Art History Breaks

A graduate of Liverpool College of Art, Adrian has worked as an Illustrator, Arts Development Officer and Lecturer in various academic and public institutions. He has been Arts Development Officer for Chester City Council, then Cheshire West and Chester Council, with a particular interest in visual art. Adrian's lectures are illustrated with colour images in powerpoint presentations, and are suitable for all levels of student, plus those who simply love the subject.

 

The Britishness of British Art.

From Sunday the 28th of January until the morning of Thursday the 1st of February 2024.

A series of illustrated lectures looking at the astonishing breadth and depth of British Art from the Neolithic to the World of Tomorrow. Of course we look at popular favourites such as Hogarth and Stubbs, Constable and Turner, Burne-Jones and David Hockney, Wyndham Lewis and Francis Bacon, but we will take time to seek out the lost and hidden treasures which are the work of artists such as John Duncan, William Orpen, Nicholas Hilliard, Maria Cosway, Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale,  Gwen John, and many more..... a revelation of sorts.

 

The Art of Scandinavia.

From Monday the 19th of February until the morning of Friday the 23rd of February 2024.
