Arts Society Monthly Lecture

Our first lecture of the new programme on 17th September will begin at 11.15 for a short AGM before our lecture at 11.30. The illustrated lectures are held in the lecture theatre at the Manx Museum and last one hour. Arts Society Isle of Man membership is £60 and information can be found on our website. Guests are welcome with a charge of £10 per lecture.
The topic of our first lecture will be the works of the well known Russian artist Mark Chagall. An artist whose work has embraced many mediums. He absorbed the techniques of Fauvism and Cubism, adding his own folksy imagery based on his life as a Jew brought up in the culture of a small village in Belarus. His use of colour was one of the features of his work and his work using stained glass is vibrant with colour. The 12 windows at All Saints Church Tudeley in Kent is the only church in the world to have all of the windows designed by Chagall. The lecture will be a window into a truly exceptional artist.
