Join us for a series of Sunday afternoon lectures with Terence Maloon. This series of 12 lectures – 6 which were held in 2024 and 6 to take place in 2025 – looks at the reorientation of painting from 19th-century Naturalism to 20th-century Abstraction, exploring the shifts and examining the rationalisation that gained a pervasive influence over the entirety of modern and contemporary art.
