Dorset
had a significant influence on Mackintosh’s work. The
lecture will look at his 1895 tour across the whole county which
resulted in a large number of drawings of vernacular buildings
and churches. These provided inspiration for his major architectural
projects such as the Glasgow School of Art. By the 1920s Mackintosh
was turning to landscape painting and his visit to Purbeck was
recorded in two seminal watercolours which look forward to his
better-known work in the South of France. |

| Description: |
Few
people know much about the Bridport School of Art, nor the formative
influence it had on the later career of Francis Henry Newbery.
This talk, by local historian Fiona Taplin, aims to fill that
gap by looking at Fra Newbery's early life in Bridport, his
school years at the Bridport Boys' General School, where he
was encouraged by the charismatic headmaster, John Beard, to
attend art classes at the Bridport School of Art just across
East Street, in the Scientific and Literary Institute. His teaching
career also began in Bridport, first as a pupil teacher at his
former school, and later as an art master at the Bridport School
of Art, before leaving for London and ultimately fame at the
Glasgow School of Art. |
