A reminder about the second of my Art Talks st the Castle hotel in Taunton. The subject this time is 'The Waking Dream' and in this talk we will explore the mysterious late 19th century art movement of Symbolism. Exotic, erotic and more than a little eccentric in their work, Symbolist artists reacted against materialism and the advance of industry and science.
2 pm on Thursday 9th July. £15 for the talk only or £25 to include the legendary tea. Book online or pay at reception on the day. I would be delighted to see you there!
