Part One of a Two-Part Series on Modern Design.

This lecture explores definitions of modernism in design from about 1900 to the years of the Bauhaus in Germany, from 1919 to 1933.  We look at Belgian and French Art Nouveau, the Vienna Secessionists and the Dutch De Stijl group.   We will see how varied these styles of “modern” design were.  We are very fortunate to welcome back Megan Aldrich, a decorative art historian, to lead us on this series.  Come along to one or both lectures.

We have arranged a later start time – 10:45 am – to avoid any conflict with commuters.  We’ll break for coffee/tea at 11:45 and plan to finish around 1:00 pm.

Please note, we will be taking precautions to ensure safe social distancing.  Face masks must be worn and the lecture will be limited to fewer people than usual, so please register early!  Your temperature will be taken as you enter and you will be asked to use the hand sanitiser provided.
