Synopsis
It is a basic human instinct to create a likeness of the human form; figurines have been made since Palaeolithic times. Let Gillian Hovell take you on a journey through the changing face of beauty; travel through the millennia, encountering some of the most beautiful works of art ever made, and discover how each civilisation created its own symbolic, visual and self-conscious self-expression. Gillian will deliver two lectures on 16 & 17 February 2021 at 11am.
