About This Talk:
Part of the programme of events supporting our major art exhibition this summer – EQ Nicholson – is a talk, ‘My Dear Qeakle: John Craxton And EQ Nicholson, A Lifelong Friendship’ which focusses on the Alderholt Mill years and which will take place at the Rottingdean Whiteway Centre, Whiteway Lane, Rottingdean.
We have great pleasure to welcome speaker, Carolyn Trant to Rottingdean. Carolyn is an expert on the life of EQ Nicholson and will give an illustrated talk which will explore a joyful creative relationship through John Craxton’s delightfully visual letters to EQ. Discussing music, travels, and the work of other artists, they show how they shared ideas and influences and illuminate EQ’s lively personality
Carolyn Trant is the author of Art For Life: The Story of Peggy Angus, and contributed to The Cultural Life of Images. Her book British Women Artists From Suffrage to the Sixties has just been reissued as a paperback. She is a practising artist with works in private and institutional collections including Tate, V&A and British Library Modern British Collections, and the US Library of Congress. Carolyn lives in Sussex.
You’ll find full details and booking information on rwc.org.uk and we look forward to welcoming you.
