Artist Collectives: Camden Town Group Talk 2

This event takes place in-person at the Museum, and online via Zoom.
Tickets are £8 each. Booking is essential.

In Martin's second talk on the Camden Town Group, he examines why artists found this busy neighbourhood and London itself so exciting. Although the group was short-lived, its influence was profound.

Charles Ginner, a founder member who grew up in France, assimilated European styles into his very British metropolitan subject matter. Robert Bevan and Ginner’s associates have a clarity of vision and liveliness of style that brilliantly reflects urban life during this period.

The Ashmolean is fortunate to have exceptional examples of the Camden Town Group's work and this talk will focus in detail upon a number of these important paintings.

There will be a chance to assess the contribution of Ethel Sands, Malcolm Drummond, and the developing careers of Walter Sickert, Harold Gilman and Frederick Spencer Gore.

The first talk in this series takes place on 11 Oct.
