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:Art and Architecture of Romania
DESCRIPTION:This lecture introduces you to the art and architecture of Romania from the Middle Ages to the 20th century. It begins with folk traditions\, such as wood carving and the painted glass icons of Transylvania\, before turning to the emergence of a distinct style of painting that draws on eastern and western traditions at the painted monasteries of Bucovina. We then look at the creation of a unique architectural style in the early 1600s by Constantijn Brancoveanu\, a style which unites an eclectic range of influences from traditional rural architecture to Byzantine\, Ottoman and the classicism of the Renaissance and Baroque. \nDate and Location: \nThursday 6 November 2025 Melbourne (VIC)
