SUMMARY:How Constable’s Late Paintings Changed the Face of Modern Art
DESCRIPTION:Would you recognise John Constable R.A.’s ‘late’ oil studies? Constable’s exuberant\, almost abstract\, brush and palette-knife work shocked audiences for a full 50 years before Impressionism. In fact\, the handling is so avant-garde that it is impossible to tell what these paint strokes depict! Constable only sold 20 or so paintings in England during his lifetime\, as their rough and ‘specky’ surfaces horrified audiences. By contrast\, he sold many to forward-looking French art dealers and collectors. Consequently\, his radical ‘late’ works influenced generations of French painters\, making Constable a Forefather of Modern Painting. Sarah Cove’s work reveals a ‘Jackson Pollock of the 1830s’. \nDates and Locations \nMonday 13 October 2025 Hobart (TAS) \nTuesday 14 October 2025 Launceston (TAS) \nMonday 20 October 2025 Northern Rivers (NSW) \nWednesday 22 & Thursday 23 October Brisbane (QLD)  \nFriday 24 October 2025 Brisbane River (QLD) \nSaturday 1 November 2025 Rockhampton (QLD) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.

SUMMARY:Fakes and Fortunes: Or Have I Found a Constable in My Attic?
DESCRIPTION:Sarah Cove ACR founded the Constable Research Project with the V&A Museum in 1986 to study John Constable RA’s materials and techniques. She has since examined over 250 works worldwide\, from tiny oil sketches\, to the ‘six-footers’\, including the iconic The Haywain (1821). She has developed a technical chronology that assists with the dating of his known works\, few of which were signed and dated by the artist. Sarah has been instrumental in the attribution of three significant Constable oils for BBC1’s Fake or Fortune? series. This lecture gives a ‘behind the scenes’ look at these decisions and describes some extraordinary successes but also crashing disappointments. \nDates and Locations \nSaturday 25 October 2025 Noosa (QLD) \n​Sunday 26 October 2025 Sunshine Coast (QLD) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.
