Greetings!
I hope you will be able to join us
on Saturday 31st May, 11.15am (for about an hour & a half)
at The Beecroft Art Gallery, Victoria Avenue, Southend
to explore the art of John Lavery (1856-1941) from his Belfast roots to student days in Paris, from one of the Glasgow Boys to official war artist, and far beyond via scenes of modern life, international travel and portraits of the great, the good and the fashionable…
My snapshot from John Lavery’s “The Family of King George V” [1913; Royal Collection Trust] which is currently on show as part of The Edwardians: Age of Elegance exhibition at The King’s Gallery. (For the exhibition website / overview click here: The Edwardians)
It’ll be a feast for the eyes, with lots to see and much to discuss – do come along if you can, it’s open to everyone! Please note a £10 request on the door to cover Lecture Theatre hire costs as well as tea/coffee/biscuits at the Jazz Centre downstairs afterwards.
Please note: I’m afraid I need to change the date of our next meeting from 28th June to 5th July – apologies!
