Exhibitions and Displays in �009

Sickert in Venice

Ends 31 May 2009

“A model of what a small gallery can do… if, like me, you thought you knew Sickert’s work well, think again.” HHHH The Telegraph

Venice inspired some of Sickert’s most ravishing work. It was here that Sickert really found his identity as an artist, painting studies of St Mark’s Basilica, inspired by Monet. Later he moved indoors and experimented with figures in interiors. This is the first time that Sickert’s magical Venetian oeuvre has been seen together

Welcome

Paolo Veronese: The Petrobelli Altarpiece

Reconstructing a Renaissance MasterpieceExhibition extended to 10 May 2009In the late �8th century this huge altarpiece was butchered for the art market. Three large sections have survived, at Dulwich, at the National Gallery of Scotland, and the National Gallery of Canada. This display brings these fragments together again for the first time – and includes a newly discovered fourth fragment

Best of British

The Story of the British Collection at Dulwich Picture Gallery8 July – 27 September Dulwich Picture Gallery will be exhibiting paintings from its newly catalogued British collection, many of which are not usually on show. The exhibition will not only display the original collection, but will also show paintings bequeathed by other collectors – including the significant group of actors’ portraits from Shakespeare’s time – and the display will offer a fascinating insight into English notions of taste and the fashion to collect from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century. There is no charge for this exhibition

Exhibitions and Displays in �009

Supported by the Friends of Dulwich Picture Gallery

The Polish Connection

16 June – 27 September 2009In �790 the last King of Poland commissioned two art dealers to buy paintings to establish Poland’s national collection. However he was forced to abdicate and the works became the collection at Dulwich Picture Gallery. Spectacular state portraits, on loan from Poland, of King Stanislaw Augustus Poniatowski, will be shown here for the first time in the UK. In addition to these loans, work by Antoni Malinowski, the distinguished Polish contemporary artist, will link Dulwich Picture Gallery and Warsaw’s Royal Castle. Malinowski’s work is a meditation on light, colour, painting and the enduring significance of ephemeral gestures, and will be both inside and outside the Gallery.

The exhibition is part of:

Paul Nash: the Elements

10 February – 9 May 2010Paul Nash (�889 – �946) painted beautiful landscapes of the Downs, strange flooded rooms, and classic images of two World Wars. The exhibition includes paintings, watercolours and photographs from the whole of his career, showing how he selected elementary objects, to put them in relationships of conflict or harmony, and found pathways, nests and thresholds between them and within them

Drawing Attention

Rembrandt, Tiepolo, Van Gogh, Picasso & more Master Drawings from the Art Gallery of Ontario21 October – 17 January 2010The Art Gallery of Ontario has put together a great collection of drawings. This group of a hundred of its best works ranges from Renaissance Italy to modern times. It includes Guercino, Boucher, Gainsborough, Ingres, Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Turner, Léger, De Kooning, and Canada’s remarkable Tom Thomson

Desperately Seeking Conservation

Autumn (dates to be confirmed)A display of rarely seen Gallery paintings in need of conservation. Adopt an Old Master was started in �988 to conserve the collection and over ��0 paintings have been adopted. But there are still many paintings which are in desperate need of attention. What the conservators uncover during conservation provides both a context for scholarly research and for visitor enjoyment. The collection can be preserved for generations to come, but this is only possible thanks to the generous support of visitors who adopt. Could you be one of them?

Great Sculptors of the 20th Century

7.45–9.15pm In the Linbury Room. Bar and book sales in the interval

This series looks at three artists, two of whom helped to expand the range and treatment of subject matter using the traditional practice of direct carving, which had all but died out since the days of Michelangelo

Constantin Brancusi

Tuesday 26 MayBrancusi (�876–�957) was one of the most important sculptors of the �0th century, who influenced artists from Modigliani to Henry Moore. This lecture starts with his early life in Romania to an artist with a world-wide reputation. It will also look at the recurring themes in his work such as The Kiss and images based on naturePeter Scott

Jacob Epstein

Tuesday 2 JuneWhen Sir Jacob Epstein (�880–�959) died, he was one of the most famous and best loved sculptors in Britain. However, most of his career had been dogged by criticism and public ridicule. This lecture examines his life and work, explains what he was trying to achieve and why his pioneering career caused such bitter controversy in his timeLinda Smith

Elisabeth Frink

Tuesday 9 June Although Frink (�930–93) was born more than fifty years after Brancusi, the feeling of her work is closer to that of her hero, Rodin, than that of the Romanian sculptor. This lecture examines some of her powerful bronzes depicting the human figure and animals. Her bronzes varied in scale and feeling, from small, threatening birds to the life-size, tranquil Walking Madonna in Salisbury Frank Woodgate

Lectures InSight Lecture Series

A House in its Garden

The series is about the relationship of architecture and garden design from their interdependence in the Tudor period, through the Englishness of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras to Modernists; looking at the planting, colour and design used to create a working harmony

Wednesday mornings 10.30-11.30 am in the Linbury room

The Tudor House and Garden

Wednesday 3 JuneThroughout the Tudor period, houses became more ‘outward looking’ with elaborate gardens and courts. Interest in Renaissance ideas of order and harmony resulted in a desire to control nature. This talk will concentrate on the powerful Cecil family (Lord Burghley, the Earl of Exeter and the Earl of Salisbury) who created the most magnificent houses and gardens of the period

Paula Henderson’s book, The Tudor House and Garden, won the Berger Prize for the outstanding contribution to the history of British art for �000

Gardens of a Golden Afternoon: the Lutyens and Jekyll partnership

Wednesday 17 JuneLutyens was sentimental about gardens; Jekyll was practical about gardens. Jane Brown illustrates the gardening principles, the architectural philosophy, the use of plants and colour which created houses and gardens of such compatibility, they inspire designers and gardeners to this day

Jane Brown’s books include The Modern Garden, The Garden at Buckingham Palace, Vita’s Other World and The Pursuit of Paradise

The Outdoor Room

Wednesday 1 July In the early twentieth century modernist emphasis on the integration of the inside and outside led to the idea of the garden as the ‘outdoor room’. Designs used plants for structure, less for decoration. This talk looks at the development of the genre, the work of John Brookes and others and at modern-day interpretations of the outdoor room.

Barbara Simms is a garden and landscape historian and teaches at Birkbeck College. She is the editor of Garden History. Her research interests are gardens of the post-war era.
