Description

Join us for two more perspectives on this fantastic period of Scottish art. Following on from last term John Richardson brings you these two fascinating talks:

1. “The Glasgow Girls - Amazons of Art and Craft”: This talk will outline the major contribution of the distaff side to the “Glasgow School”. It will cover distinctive Scottish forms of Art Nouveau, Arts and Crafts and the Celtic Revival.
2. “Kiwi and Celtic Connections” J.M. Nairn one time ‘Glasgow Boy’ and John Baillie, founder members of the Wellington Art Club. Key influences on the development of New Zealand’s art.

This set of talks was originally prepared for the North Canterbury U3A Art Appreciation Group; of which both Johns are active members. John Maxwell studied both History and Art formally and, against a richly varied professional backdrop since, has retained lifelong interest in both. John Richardson is a biologist by training, inclination and occupation but, particularly in retirement, has developed a keen interest in art, particularly in Scottish Art History.
