The Arts Society Mid-Cornwall - Discovery Day - Pre-Raphaelite Art and Design

The Arts Society Mid-Cornwall - Discovery Day
Thursday 20th November
Pre-Raphaelite Art and Design 1848-1914 with Julian Halsby
New venue: The Passmore Room, The Old Library, 10 Lower Bore St, Bodmin PL31 2JX
Disabled entrance at the rear of the building
The first 12 years of the Pre-Raphaelite Movement are the most revolutionary and significant. Julian Halsby will look in detail at how the young Millais, Rossetti and Holman Hunt break with the past and turn their backs on the traditions of academic and romantic painting. Julian shows how they discover true colour from direct observation of nature and painting in the open air and rebel against Victorian morality. The last lecture is on the later Pre-Raphaelites and the movement's influence on future art and design.
