English Art Before the Reformation
A Talk by Tim Clark - September 17th at 7:45, Lapworth Village Hall
I am sorry to have to announce that we have had to make a change to the planned talk for our next meeting on Tuesday 17th September. Our speaker, Andrew Reekes, who was to have talked to us about the work of the Civic Gospel in Birmingham, has had to cancel for personal reasons.
We have been fortunate in persuading Tim Clark, who is already scheduled to talk to us in December on the subject of the Beauchamp Chapel in St Mary’s Warwick, to give an additional talk for our September meeting on English Art Before the Reformation. Tim explains that ‘It’s thought that over 90% of English art was destroyed in the Reformation, but it’s still possible to find some fascinating and stunning art that survived. Tim will be reviewing some of the key pieces that we can still enjoy and show how English art evolved over the centuries.’
As well as giving us a bit of history of the art from the period when the Beauchamp Chapel was built and, as he disarmingly says, allowing him to show us lots of pretty pictures, this talk will provide some useful context for his talk in December.
We hope to reschedule Andrew Reekes for a later date.
