Great British Artists – The Hampstead Connection: Mark Gertler His Life and Art with Dr Jan Cox
Description
This course is part of Dillington Discovery Summer week.
The house of the Carline Family at 47 Downshire Hill in Hampstead was a mecca for artists between the wars. Richard, Sydney and Hilda Carline were all fine artists, and the latter married Stanley Spencer, a frequent visitor. Other great artists who congregated included Richard Nevinson and Mark Gertler among many others.
We will spend individual days looking at these marvellous artists.
