Masters of Light, 1700s to Now

Wed 31 May 10.30-12.30pm

This lecture series explores how light takes centre stage in critically acclaimed paintings, sculptures, photographs, films and installations by ground-breaking artists through the centuries. Note: This lecture will be repeated on Wed 31 May, 10.30-12.30am. Ticket holders can choose which day to attend. 

Day 1 focuses on historical European art and Day 2 on modern and contemporary art, incorporating an Indigenous lens. Presented by four passionate art and design scholars, this series accompanying our current Light from Tate: 1700s to Now exhibition is not to be missed.
