Modern British Art Talk

History of Art Talks with Emma

In collaboration with Contemporary Six

This November, we will be collaborating with Contemporary Six, a leading art gallery nestled in Hale Village, on a talk by art historian Emma Anderson exploring Modern British art.

‘Modern British art’ is a retrospective label for the art made in Britain across the 20th-century and late 19th-century, a period that brought together many new and sometimes competing visual languages. The talk focuses on three artists of immigrant heritage who helped reshape British painting: David Bomberg, Josef Herman and Leon Kossoff.

19th November:

Modern British Art Talk

Doors and licensed bar open at 5.45pm, Emma's talk starts at 6:15pm

Introducing Contemporary Six

Founded in 2010 by Alex Reuben, Contemporary Six began in Manchester's Royal Arcade before moving to Princess Street. Today the gallery has found its home in Hale, neighbouring village to Oyez Arts, taking over the space of the former Clark Art gallery where it continues to welcome collectors, art lovers and the simply curious alike.

The gallery showcases an exceptional range of artwork, from emerging and established contemporary artists to Modern British and Northern art. It is also proud to be the leading commercial gallery in the North of England for original L.S. Lowry artworks, and the leading gallery internationally for his tutor, Adolphe Valette. With a specialist approach, an exciting exhibitions programme and a diverse roster of artists, Contemporary Six connects buyers with internationally acclaimed artworks.

All ticket proceeds will go to Oyez Arts, supporting our work in promoting art and creativity for everyone.
