2021 Art Lectures

The next lecture to put in your diaries is at 7pm on Tuesday the 16th February 2021: Winston Churchill – The Artist by Claire Walsh

In 1915 Churchill was rescued from depression by the ‘muse of painting’. Painting was the mainstay that enabled one of our greatest national leaders to achieve what he did.

Churchill’s paintings record landscapes from the Riviera, to Blenheim, Chartwell and Marrakech.

The most fascinating aspects of this exploration of a talent beyond the mere amateur is the role it played in his personal and political life, the restorative power of the process of painting, and the insight it allows us into the art of his age.

Churchill took lessons from Lavery, Sickert and Nicholson, and the choices he made tell us much about the colour, texture and direction of art in the early-twentieth century.
