ART SOCIETY NEWS and EVENTS Looking ahead to the next season of talks, the Dates for your Diary are Monday 27th September and Monday 25th October 2010. Monday 27th September With these ingredients we are bound for a lively, thought-provoking evening. Look forward to seeing you. As a Doctor of Philosophy, Michael Baldry is particularly interested in the social circumstances which influence artists and the production of their work. Here he centres on Edvard Munch... Family traumas, fraught love affairs, and alcoholism were some of Munch's main sources for his expressive art. "We should no longer paint interiors with men reading and women knitting. We should paint living people who breathe, feel suffer and love." These sentiments, together with the resultant art, make up the contents of this talk on the artist who some call 'The Father of Expressionism'. All talks start at 7:30 pm. Venue : The Co-op Education Centre, 11 Fore Street, Ipswich IP4 1JW (click for map). Free to Members and Friends, £2.50 to Guests If YOU have a burning issue you would like to discuss, would like further information or would like to be on the email circulation list, please email Ed Barritt at edwinbarritt@hotmail.com Gill Thomas Paintings & Drawings 1950 – 2010 This exhibition charts Gill’s artistic progress over 60 years, from working in the studio of an advertising agency in the early 50’s to her ‘Suffolk Dozen’ Exhibition in Aldeburgh this April 2010.
