A wonderful lady called Kit Williams got chatting to me in the library several months ago. She asked me to help her find some info on Frida Kahlo and I was able to help her.
I asked her if she ever gave lectures and she said yes she relished giving them so we have had a very well attended Frida Kahlo Event and now we are are about to do the Pre-RaphaeliteBrotherhood.
I have always loved their art and enjoyed reading around their circles. They were a really radical group and changed art for ever with there subject matter and luminous colours. Revolutionary in their day to some they now seem a bit old hat but I will always love them.
I was lucky enough to see this painting by Holman Hunt in London and the colors and movement really blew me away!
At the library we are going to have our own "Stunner" reading from Tennyson,Rossetti and Keats.
Anyone around Truro interested in coming on the 7th of November?
No more time to muse today!
