Course description
Our next Saturday Study event accompanies The Courtauld Gallery’s spring exhibition Frank Auerbach. The Charcoal Heads.
Uniquely, this show brings together a series of large-scale portrait drawings of the artist’s friends, and one self-portrait, accompanied by a selection of related paintings the artist made of the same sitters. Join exhibition curator Dr Barnaby Wright and independent curator and writer Jane Alison to explore these poignant images over which the artist took evident care, characteristically re-working them in numerous sessions with the sitters. We shall also set these works of the 1950s and early 1960s into the context of post-war British portraiture.
Booking required; the event fee for on-campus attendance includes admission on the day to the exhibition Frank Auerbach. The Charcoal Heads – In Context.
Booking for online access remains open until the end of the exhibition (27 May 2024). The lecture recordings will be sent on Tuesday 26 March, or within five days for those booking after the 26th, and will be accessible for 8 days from delivery.
