9 July Friedensreich Hundertwasser

This session led by Anne Orton in response to a special request by a group member will look at the life, work and philosophy of the famous Austrian artist, architect and environmental activist Hundertwasser


23 July How Renoir Revolutionised Art

This session led by Anne Orton is in response to our region receiving on loan from the National Gallery in London the famous Renoir painting The Umbrellas (Les Parapluies). 

Before we all rush off to see it in the Leicester City Art Gallery (free and available to view from 10 May to 1 September) I thought our group should explore just how revolutionary this painter, sometimes unfairly thought of as ‘chocolate boxy’ actually was.
