Greetings!

I hope you will be able to join us

on Friday 17th October, 11.30am (for about an hour)

at The Beaumont, Barchester Care, 15 Cannon Hill, Old Southgate, N14 7DJ

to explore The Art of Doris and Anna Zinkeisen.

Renowned for their glamorous portraits of the 1930s as well as their war paintings, the Zinkeisen sisters reflect quite a picture of mid-20th-century Britain.

Doris Clare Zinkeisen (1898–1991): Self-Portrait [1919; National Portrait Gallery; c/o artuk.org]; Anna Katrina Zinkeisen (1901–1976): Self-Portrait [1944; National Portrait Gallery; c/o artuk.org]

There’ll be lots to look at and discuss – I hope you’ll be able to come along!

And if you’re unable to make it, there’s a great essay by Alicia Foster on Art UK, just click here.

The discussions are for everyone, whether residents or local community. Please note a £3 on-the-door request to cover the cost of coffee and biscuits. With all thanks to Barchester Health Care.
