TERM 3
3 different lectures presented on Tuesday evenings or Saturday mornings. Check the dates and times below:
DISCOVER PABLO PICASSO
Pablo Picasso is probably the most important figure of 20th century, in terms of art, and art movements that occurred over this period. Before the age of 50, the Spanish born artist had become the most well-known name in modern art, with the most distinct style and eye for artistic creation. There had been no other artists, prior to Picasso, who had such an impact on the art world, or had a mass following of fans and critics alike, as he did.
ABORIGINAL ART
Australian Aboriginal art and culture is the oldest continuous art tradition on the planet. In the last century it has also emerged as one of the world’s most important contemporary art movements. Whether on bark, canvas or in new media, Aboriginal artists have used art to express the power and beauty of their culture, across cultures: to show their enduring connection to, and responsibility for, ancestral lands and the continuity of their identities and beliefs.
POLLOCK AND ROTHKO
Inventor of action painting, Jackson Pollock is one of the great names of American expressionism. He renewed the gesture of the artist, endowing it with considerable energy, a new spontaneity. Pollock had a considerable influence on the American school despite his early death. One of his largest paintings, “Blue poles” can be seen in the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra.
A master of abstraction, Mark Rothko has for more than three decades marked the history of painting with a demanding, mysterious and dazzling imprint, like his canvases, skilful assemblies of dazzling colours and luminous voids.
