"I must see new things and investigate them. I want to taste dark water and see crackling trees." Egon Schiele
Our art talks this season explore the mind-bending originality of painters from Renaissance Italy, to Vienna 1900, through 20th-century New York.
In Austria, Gustav Klimt combined the patterns and colour of the East with European Modernism, while Egon Schiele extended this Viennese angst to uncomfortable levels of sexual expression. And for decades, the influence of Germany’s Bauhaus (including painters Kandinsky, Albers, and Klee), shaped the paintings, architecture and furnishings of 20th-century Western society.
New for 2019, our 6-session course Modern and Contemporary Art in 6 Easy Pieces takes place in London’s best museums and galleries, examining and engaging with stimulating works of art, starting with Impressionism and ending at today’s emerging East London galleries.
Whether you are new to the art world or a knowledgeable art lover, you are welcome at the London Art Salon's invigorating social events.
Join art historian Julia Musgrave to explore the stories behind a selection of masterpieces in the National Gallery collection.
