Art History -Newlyn & St Ives

Our one day Art History courses provide a wonderful overview of art created in West Cornwall from the 1880’s through to the present day. Penlee House Gallery, Tate St Ives and Newlyn Gallery have commissioned new lectures specifically for these Art History Days run by Newlyn School of Art. Lecturers from the three galleries present their talks alongside illustrative slide presentations.

The day begins with a wonderful slide lecture and guided tour from Katherine Ashton, Education Officer at Penlee House Gallery to explore art from Newlyn and Lamorna from the 1880’s to the 1920’s. This is followed by an early lunch at Newlyn Gallery Cafe (from £4.50) and then a slide presentation and talk provided by Tate St Ives given by Janet Axten on Modernism in west Cornwall (held at Newlyn Gallery) and finally students will receive a visual overview of some of the award winning contemporary art which is being made in the area today given by well known artist and lecturer Marion Taylor (held at Newlyn Gallery).
