SUMMARY:Illustrated arts talk – PAINTING THE MODERN GARDEN
DESCRIPTION:ArtsNational Narrabri – Illustrated arts talk: \nPAINTING THE MODERN GARDEN \nPresented by Lydia Bauman \nMonet\, perhaps the most important painter of gardens\, once said he owed his painting “to flowers”. But so many other artists not only created gardens but made them the subject of their work – such as Pissarro\, Sargent\, Tissot\, Kandinsky\, Klee\, Van Gogh\, Klimt and Matisse. The modern garden\, transformed by 19th century innovations such as hybridisation\, glasshouses and foreign exploration\, was part of a great social change to which artists responded from the 1860s onwards. This talk traces the appearance of the garden as a modern phenomenon and the development of new art movements adopting it as their subject. \nLydia has taught at London’s National Gallery for more than 35 years\, and intermittently at London’s Tate Gallery and National Portrait Gallery\, among many others overseas\, including the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam as a guest speaker for travel companies. \nArrivals from 6.30pm for a 7pm start \nCinema 1\, The Crossing Theatre

He returns to Central Asia whenever he can\, having left a large chunk of his heart there. \nArrivals from 6.30pm for a 7pm start \nTickets are $30 online or $35 at the door. \nBook here.

SUMMARY:Illustrated arts talk – COLLECTOMANIA
DESCRIPTION:ArtsNational Narrabri – Illustrated arts talk: \nCOLLECTOMANIA \nPresented by Claudia Chan Shaw \nClaudia Chan Shaw developed a penchant for collecting of all kinds at a young age — tin robots\, Humphrey Bogart posters and much more. As she grew older she realised it had become an obsession and that there were others who felt the same. As host of the ABC TV series\, Collectors\, Claudia would encounter many people of the same ilk\, people for whom one Bakelite radio or first edition was too little and 100 of them was not enough. In this richly illustrated lecture\, Claudia Chan Shaw takes us into the mind of the collector. \nSydney born creative Claudia has a multi-faceted career as a fashion designer\, television and radio presenter\, author\, public speaker\, installation artist\, photo artist\, and curator. \nArrivals from 6.30pm for a 7pm start \nCinema 1\, The Crossing Theatre
