Our current long topic is “British Art Through The Ages”. This will run throughout 2023 and 2024.
We discuss different types of art, and the meaning of art. No two people have the same opinion about what art is or should mean, so we can have some lively discussions. In the past, we took a chronological look at art history, beginning with early painters, such as Giotto, and worked our way forward to the twentieth century. We have looked at the pre-Raphaelites, the Impressionists, 20th century war artists, the Russian Revolution, American art in the long 20th Century, and others.
Our members choose their topics by ballot - everyone puts an idea in the hat, and we vote on the suggestions.
New members are welcome. No previous experience of art history is necessary. An opinion is always helpful!
