Intrigue: James Ensor by Luc Tuymans
Join us for an informal, drop-in conversation and share your thoughts about the James Ensor exhibition.
In these monthly book club-style discussions, we’ll be opening up the floor to comments, questions and responses to our exhibitions.
This month we focus on Intrigue: James Ensor by Luc Tuymans. Come along after seeing the show and let us know what you made of it. How does his macabre and satirical imagery affect your appreciation of his art? Was there a work that made a strong impact on you, or reminded you of a particular movement?
Leading the conversation is Harry Baxter, an artist educator who performs tours, lectures and workshops for a variety of institutions and has worked for the Royal Academy of Arts for over a decade. His artistic practice centres around oil painting and the history of its techniques, with a particular focus on Surrealism and Flemish painting.
The bar will be open in the Casson Room for drinks and snacks, which you are welcome to bring through into the Belle Shenkman Room.
