Joaquin Sorolla - Painter of Light
Speaker: Jacqueline Cockburn
Venue: Cultural Centre and your home (see below)
Date: 14th May at 18:00 (Spanish time)

One of the most extraordinary Spanish artists from Valencia; Joaquin Sorolla has become better known more recently. He lived from 1863 to 1923 and created a world full of light and colour which delights the senses. Sometimes a social painter he was more concerned with capturing light falling on bodies and sea-scapes and his wonderful technique will be considered in this colourful lecture. His final Visions of Spain now in New York will also be shown.
