The Art Society Arun Monthly Talk - The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood : Artworld Rebels

The Arts Society Arun, Rustington

Our talk this month is by Sarah Ciacci - The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood : Artworld Rebels
The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood were a group of young artists who came together in 1848 to shake up an art world they considered stultified and untruthful, because artists were encouraged to copy only the Old Masters, especially the art of Raphael. So the Pre-Raphaelites looked for inspiration from artists that came before Raphael (hence Pre-Raphaelite) and looked for more truthful and honest subject-matter. Not only were they art world rebels, but they also produced works of art that enjoy great popularity today, which we will explore in this talk.
Doors open 9.30am. Everyone welcome. Guests £7 on the door. Coffee and biscuits available. Meetings are held on the third Tuesday of the month.
