SUMMARY:Art’s Hall of Mirrors: How Poems Succeed in Making Paintings and Sculptures Speak in English
DESCRIPTION:The ability that paintings\, like music\, have to leave you speechless is surely the whole point: art needs no words to fire the mind\, quicken the body and touch the heart. And then we say of a painting that it really speaks to us. No wonder poets want to speak back\, make art’s hidden voice visible in words\, translate a picture so that we can hear it in our human language. Art’s Hall of Mirrors lines up images of great and even famous art to face the best ekphrastic poems as poets word them.

SUMMARY:Art and Music
DESCRIPTION:Music is not only for the ears. Throughout the history of art\, musicians have been represented at play. The concept of musical harmony has also pervaded architecture since its origins. And music also influenced the development of colour theory\, proportion and abstraction in art – not to mention the exquisite designs of musical instruments. This series will examine the evolving relationship between music and visual culture.

SUMMARY:Designs for Living
DESCRIPTION:The ideal city or home has long been a preoccupation of thinkers\, rulers\, and architects. These lectures\, mostly focused on western examples\, range widely over time\, and are loosely themed to discuss particular visions of models for dwelling\, working and display. We will discuss both those which were built (or at least attempted) and schemes which never got further than the drawing board. In many of these instances Rome features heavily as it has in the architectural imagination of Europe since antiquity.

SUMMARY:The Spider’s Web
DESCRIPTION:“Fiction is like a spider’s web\, attached ever so slightly perhaps\, but still attached to life at all four corners” Virginia Woolf \nAll the writers in this short series draw inspiration and support from those closest to them. Where would Jane Austen have been without the support of her sister Cassandra\, or Virginia Woolf without the stimulus of Vanessa Bell? Burney\, Austen and Woolf are fortunate in their sisters. With no close siblings\, for a good twenty years Johnson and Thrale find reliable inspiration and entertainment in each other. For each of these writers it is true that\, in the famous words of John Donne\, no man is an island.

SUMMARY:The English Renaissance: England under the Tudors
DESCRIPTION:In just 3 generations\, the upstart Tudor clan not only produced some of the more dramatic personalities and legends of the monarchy but took the country from the Middle Ages into the great artistic “rebirth” of the Continent\, from stained glass and manuscripts for Henry VII to Renaissance portraits for his son and grandchildren\, from militaristic fortresses to sumptuous architectural stage sets for the choreography of display. In an age of intense religious conflict\, church commissions were followed by the destruction of monasteries and their heritage and as successive rulers imposed their allegiances on the people\, the arts trumpeted their chosen Faiths. For the monarchy\, paintings by Holbein\, Horenbout and Hilliard and palaces to overawe European rivals transmitted the Tudor message and became prestige models which transformed the face of England.

SUMMARY:Great Italian Dynastic Art Collectors: Their Palaces\, Villas And Chapels
DESCRIPTION:This series of illustrated lectures surveys the collecting cultures of Renaissance and Post-Renaissance Italy by focusing on the artistic production and consumption of five powerful Italian dynasties and their artists.  Some of the original more portable works have been dispersed to the art market over the centuries and we will study the subsequent provenance of some of this work.  Fortunately\, the more permanent and site-specific interior decoration has often survived allowing us a glimpse of the former magnificence of the collections and their architectural frames.

SUMMARY:Cities Of Light\, Cities Of Darkness: Vienna And Paris Around 1900
DESCRIPTION:Vienna and Paris are rarely brought into ‘conversation’ with each other. Yet the cross-currents between these two great cities around 1900 powered exciting\, sometimes disturbing new visions in European art and thought which resonated throughout the twentieth century. We will examine the ways artists and other cultural figures – writers\, musicians\, and architects – shaped the birth of the modern spirit and the fabric of urban life\, in these intensely productive decades which lead inexorably to the Great War.
