Greetings!

I hope you will be able to join us

on Friday 19th June, 11.30am (for about an hour)

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

to further explore the art of Desmond Morris and Ithell Colquhoun whose post-war Surrealist works developed from very different ways of thinking and understanding the world around them.
