About the Event
Stanley Spencer
Cookham was the birthplace and unlikely setting for most of the visionary paintings of Stanley
Spencer (1891-1959): The Resurrection, Cookham (1927) and Sandham Memorial Chapel (1927-32)
are among the masterpieces of Modern British Art. He was equally adept at portrait commissions
and landscapes/still lives, which found a ready market. Both Spencer’s wives were Slade-trained
painters; having divorced Hilda Carline he married Patricia Preece and she was the subject of some
striking (even disturbing) nude portraits. This lecture will examine the life and work of this major
British artist.
Alan has been looking at the work of the artists pictured in the Slade Students’ Picnic photograph of 1912. This extraordinary generation represented a galaxy of stars of Modern British Art, please find all the individual talks in this series below:
