Kenneth Park Lecture

The Artist at Home
Thursday 3 October at 1pm

Join Kenneth Park, cultural historian and curator for an illustrated lecture that will take you in the homes of some the world’s celebrated artists.

The lecture will take you to the homes (and in many instances gardens) of some the world’s celebrated artists including Claude Monet, Auguste Rodin, Lord Frederic Leighton, Cecilia May Gibbs, Georgia O’Keefe, Fredia Kahlo, Jackson Pollock & Lee Krasner, Victor Hugo and many more…

A ‘visit’ to these homes will provide us with the opportunity to gain insights into the personalities of these artists.
