Hopper - New York Restaurant
The Art of Edward Hopper 1882-1967
Friday 7 June
09.30-12.30
A prominent American realist painter and printmaker, Hopper’s work demonstrates that realism is not merely a literal or photographic copying of what we see, but an interpretive rendering. His vision of reality was a selective one, reflecting his own temperament in the empty cityscapes, landscapes, and isolated figures he chose to paint.
The cost is £20.00, but does not include refreshments, however, there is a coffee and tea machine in Allendale House and water is provided on the tables. To make further enquiries and to book please telephone 01202 888992 and speak to Sarah or Kim.

Rothko - Violet, Green & Red
JMW Turner and his Influence on Modern Art Movements
Friday 21 June
09.30-12.30
Turner is perhaps the best-loved English Romantic artist. He became known as ‘the painter of light’, because of his increasing interest in brilliant colours as the main constituent in his landscapes and seascapes. We will explore this outstanding artist’s influence on future generations of artists, such as the Impressionists, and what led the American Abstract Expressionist artist, Mark Rothko, to remark in viewing Turner’s works: “This man Turner, he learned a lot from me.”
The cost is £20.00, but does not include refreshments, however, there is a coffee and tea machine in Allendale House and water is provided on the tables. To make further enquiries and to book please telephone 01202 888992 and speak to Sarah or Kim.

Renoir - Jeanne Samary
Pierre Auguste Renoir
Friday 12 July
09.30-12.30
Renoir is best known for his paintings of bustling Parisian modernity and leisure in the late19th century. One of the leading painters of the Impressionist group, he evolved his acclaimed technique of using bold colour combinations to capture the light and movement combined with his ‘broken’ brushstrokes.
The cost is £20.00, but does not include refreshments, however, there is a coffee and tea machine in Allendale House and water is provided on the tables. To make further enquiries and to book please telephone 01202 888992 and speak to Sarah or Kim.
