Sargent and Fashion
Summer Lodge, Evershot
Monday 11 March 2024
10.00 - 13.00
SARGENT AND FASHION: In portraits by John Singer Sargent (1856–1925), sitters assume elegant stances, the fabric of their dress richly depicted in broad, sensuous strokes of paint. Sargent brought his subjects to life, but he did much more than simply record what appeared before him. He often chose what his sitters wore and, even if they arrived in his studio dressed in the latest fashions, he frequently simplified and altered the details. Exploiting dress was an integral part of his artistry.
Exhibition of interest: Tate Britain - Fashion, identity, painting: explore the unique work of John Singer Sargent (22 February – 7 July 2024).
The total cost for the day is £35.00 which includes refreshments at break and handouts.

Paul Nash
Summer Lodge, Evershot
Monday 15 April 2024
10.00 - 13.00
PAUL NASH (1889 -1946): An artist who painted deeply romantic and lyrical landscapes subtly re-envisioned through the shards of modernism and the horrors of war. He was a prolific and hugely talented artist, writer, photographer, book illustrator and designer of stage scenery, fabrics, and posters. Although Nash embraced and encompassed many of the major twentieth century art movements, including Surrealism and abstraction, his intense love for nature and surrounding landscape always remained the primary subject of his work.
The total cost for the day is £35.00 which includes refreshments at break and handouts.
