Piebald Driving by Joseph Crawhill |
The lecture profiles a group of Scottish artists who painted around the turn of the 20th century. Several had been long standing friends, indeed some had even been at school together.  They were deeply influenced by contemporary painting in France, and several painted there before World War I. They rapidly developed a distinctive style of their own, using big square brushes and thick paint and bold colours. Lecturer Julian Halsby is a practising artist. He was formerly on the teaching staff of the Croydon College of Art and has become a specialist on late 19th century painting. He is also Keeper of the Royal Society of British Artists. |
