This December, come join us for an exhibition talk by Dr Francesca Vanke, curator of the marvellous new exhibition at Norwich Castle - JMW Turner and Changing Visions of Landscape. Francesca will give us a personal insight to the acquisition of the Turner painting, Walton Bridges 1806, for the Castle Collections and how her engagement with the work formed the foundation for the exhibition. After the talk, there will be time to see the show and to continue our conversations with tea, cake and a glass of madeira!
JMW Turner and changing visions of landscape explores artists' approaches to landscape from the 17th century to the present day. It commences the celebrations for the 250th anniversary of the birth of JMW Turner, one of the most influential artists in the history of western art.
The exhibition takes as its theme the evolution of landscape art, centring on Turner's influence, whose landscapes conveyed a full range of artistic, historical and emotional meanings. Featuring seven oil paintings and nine works on paper by Turner, it compares his visionary approach with those who influenced him, like Claude Lorrain, Ruisdael and Canaletto, and those he inspired, from John Sell Cotman to Govinda Sah. Renowned twentieth-century artists like Paul Nash and contemporary figures such as Ibrahim Mahama, Emma Stibbon, and Henna Nadeem demonstrate the ongoing relevance of landscape in art.
The event is £15 per person and includes the talk and refreshments. Event hosted by Amanda Geitner and Emma Hazell.
