Illustrated talk on Costa del Sol to examine Picasso's influence on British artists
Given by art historian Paul Chapman, Picasso and Modern British Painting is organised by the Arts Society Al Andalus (Benahavis) and will take place at the Estepona cultural centre
The Arts Society Al Andalus (formerly known as the Arts Society Benahavis) will host its next illustrated talk at the Padre Manuel cultural centre at 6.30pm on Tuesday 30 April. Given by art historian Paul Chapman, Picasso and Modern British Painting will focus on why many consider the Malaga-born painter to be the 20th century’s single most important artistic figure, and how he changed the face of modern art. Chapman will discuss Picasso’s influence on British painters such as Henry Moore, Francis Bacon, Wyndham Lewis and David Hockey, among others.
A National Gallery trained guide with many years of experience working in education, Paul Chapman has given courses and lectures for a wide range of educational organisations. He has also given talks and tours for art associations and societies in several museums and galleries in the UK, and in Europe. Paul is also the author of a book which examines the subject of cultural crossovers and appropriations in 20th century painting.
The arts society has stressed that parking at the cultural centre is “very limited”.
