Churchill: An Inspirational Life in Photographs, Words and Paintings

Presented by Mark Cottle

From the 1890s to the 1960s, Winston Churchill’s life was captured in countless photographs. A prolific writer and speechmaker, the definitive edition of his speeches alone runs to four volumes. A successful and enthusiastic artist, he produced some 500 paintings in over five decades. Churchill was a complex and sensitive man of many parts and interests – a discriminating contemporary, Kenneth Clark, wrote of him, “I have never been frightened by anyone except Churchill he was a man of a wonderful and very powerful mind”. This lecture portrays the richness, diversity and achievements of Churchill’s life and character.
