NEWS FROM THE INTEREST GROUPS (CONT.) THE ART GROUP Art Appreciation Group Tour to The Tate Britain: 14 th November 2018 for 'British Landscape Painting' accompanied by our very experienced guide Michael Wright. Wordsworth writes: "My Heart leaps up when I behold". There is a great tradition in British Landscape Art, apart from its concept of originality, it can also be described as being both idiosyncratic, and eccentric. We begin our tour today studying 'The Romantics A series of paintings by Turner and Constable, Michael will discuss how Wordsworth s poetry, and sentiments, were echoed in their landscapes. Our discussion continues with 'The Mystics paintings by Stanley Spencer, and Samuel Palmer, and finally 'The Eccentrics' paintings by Lowry and Blake. I expect this to be fascinating tour, where we will explore some of the wonderful aspects of British Landscape, depicted by some of our greatest artists This is just 'A Taster Tour on a very absorbing subject, and to be continue early next year.
