Talks on Art

Come and be inspired, and learn about some great painters and paintings in this fascinating illustrated lecture by Martin Smith, Artist in Residence at Watford Museum. Martin's earlier lecture series have been a big hit with Arts Centre audiences. This is the first in his new series of talks at Letchworth.

This lecture examines examples of some of the many fine paintings held in public ownership in Hertfordshire and aims to encourage you to explore and enjoy the works with more knowledge and understanding. Artists shown include: Hales, Kemp-Welch, Moreland, Ratcliffe, Sadee, Turner, Whydale and many others.

Martin Smith's art lectures have been a resounding success. In Watford, people have had to be turned away and he has drawn large and appreciative audiences at Letchworth. They were summed up by one delighted participant: "I am not easy to please, and I suppose I wasn't expecting much, but I was astonished at the inspirational way he put across his subject. He is an exceptional teacher."

This is the first in a new series of  lectures at the Arts Centre. All start at 4.00 and will end at approximately 5.30.
