Study days are designed to explore specific subjects in depth, under the leadership of one or more expert lecturers. The topics range widely but we try to include subjects relating to forthcoming major exhibitions in London where possible, and recent study days have included Anglo-Saxon Treasures, the Arts and Craft Movement, Cubism and Caravaggio.
Study days are held at various central London locations (often either the Conway Hall, Bloomsbury Baptist Church Hall or the Keynes Library at Birkbeck) and typically last for five or six hours, including breaks for refreshments (tea and coffee provided) and lunch (not included).
Current fees for study days are £38, unless indicated otherwise on the booking page, and are for members only.
Places available
This study day will explore the development of abstraction by considering Kandinsky’s journey from the figurative to the abstract; Mondrian’s search for harmony and spirituality in his paintings; and Abstract Expressionists Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko and their use of colour, form and gestural painting.
Places available
Looking at Matisse’s work in terms of his contemporaries and collaborators, the artists of the past he most admired, and the artists who took on and explored his legacy after his death, this study day will present fresh thinking on Matisse, his art and his importance now.
