Join us if you can on
Saturday 27th May, 2023 (11.15am for about an hour & a half)
at The Beecroft Gallery, Southend
to discuss the Life and Mosaic Art of Boris Anrep (1883-1969) with particular reference to his mosaics at the National Gallery, London which include:
the depiction of Virginia Woolf as Clio, the Muse of History.
It’s a fascinating life story that will take us from St Petersburg’s Silver Age to London’s Bloomsbury Group.
***
The Art, Books & Culture meetings take place in the Beecroft Lecture Theatre, admission is £10 on the door and there will be coffee & biscuits – all welcome!
***
PS. thinking of mosaics, did you see during the Coronation ceremony the beautiful and extraordinary Cosmati Pavement?
Further images and history: Westminster Abbey
