The Arts Society Lecture: "All the Lonely People"
Chipping Sodbury Town Hall
"All the Lonely People": The Work of American Realist Edward Hopper, by Stella Grace Lyons
Hopper was a painter of loneliness and melancholy; from solitary figures in offices, motel rooms and diners, to deserted towns. He portrayed a changing America and the isolation of the individual in the modern city. His works are visually stunning; characterised by striking colours, cinematic and cropped compositions which heighten tension. Flooded with light, his paintings expose detached figures and create a mood of eerie uneasiness. This talk considers some of his most arresting works, including 'The Nighthawks', 'Gas' and 'Automat'.
We meet in Chipping Sodbury Town Hall at 10.30 for 11.00 a.m. and 1.30 for 2.00 p.m. Tea and coffee are available half an hour before the lectures.
