March lecture<\/b><\/p>\n

On Thursday 30 March, at 7.30pm, at<\/span> Berry Uniting Church Hall, 71-77 Alfred Street, Berry, Alan Read will speak about the case of Whistler vs. Ruskin.<\/span><\/p>\n

The trial in 1878 between artist and critic became one of the first great public debates in Britain about modern art. This lecture looks at the issues and personalities involved in this famous court-room drama, how their animosity divided the art world and the extent to which it can be argued that the outcome of the trial ruined both Whistler and Ruskin.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alan Read holds a master\u2019s and first class honours degree in History of Art from Birkbeck College, London. He is a gallery guide at Tate Britain, Tate Modern, National Portrait Gallery and for Frieze Masters and regularly lectures at the NPG, Dulwich Picture Gallery, Plymouth City Art Gallery and other galleries in the UK. He also works as a London Blue Badge Guide and a City of London Guide.<\/span><\/p>\n
