After the popularity of these presentations last autumn and winter I have prepared a new series to start at the beginning of September 2021. You don’t need any previous experience of art history to enjoy these hour long presentations which will cover topics as varied as Notions of beauty, Self portraits, Drawing, Art and Science, Artists’ sketchbooks. Each illustrated talk covers art from many periods and cultures. A lifetime’s experience as a professional painter gives me particular insight into the technical means by which artists achieve the effects we see. There will also be time after the presentation itself when you can join in a discussion on the art and themes we have just seen. Everyone has an opportunity to ask a question or make a comment and I make sure no particular individual dominates the discussion. Not everyone takes part but previous discussions have always been illuminating, with people often sharing comments that give further insight into the theme of the evening’s presentation.

The presentations begin on Thursday 9th September 2021 at 6.00pm.

The cost is £70.00 for the first seven weekly talks. To register email robcollinsartinfo@yahoo.com when I will send you payment details and the zoom link and passcode.
