Tomorrow, Wednesday March 3, 2010 at noon EST, George Phillips will be lecturing on the literary perspective of the current Univerity of Kentucky Art Museum exhibit called The British Are Coming! Discover the New English Art Club.
The UK website explains:
“The New English Art Club, founded in 1886 by John Singer Sargent, consisted of a group of painters who were influenced by what were then radical ideas coming out of France—notably Naturalism and Impressionism. Rejected by the Royal Academy, these artists staged the most daring exhibitions of the late nineteenth century.Contemporary artists of the New English Arts Club—among them John Ward, Tom Coates, Ken Howard, Leslie Worth, Peter Brown, Lionel Edwards, and Sir Alfred Munnings—will be featured in this exhibition, along with several examples of historic work.”
I’m sure the art is great, but that Phillips is a fox.
