With a particular focus on the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing and Ipswich Art School, this talk highlights how the two differed in their approach to life drawing. Linking with the Colin Moss exhibition in Gallery 3, Emma explores examples of work by Colin Moss, Cedric Morris, Lucian Freud and Maggi Hambling. Please note that the talk will feature nude images from the art collection.

Pub Art Crawl

Coinciding with the Colin Moss exhibition in Gallery 3 Town, Hall Ipswich , this walk and talk will take in some of the locations in Ipswich from which artists like Colin have drawn inspiration. At each stop, Art Curator Emma Roodhouse will talk a little about Colin Moss and his work. There will then be time for some relaxed discussion before we move on. The walk begins at the docks, in front of Isaacs, at 6pm sharp. The official tour will end at the Arboretum, though there is no limit on how long you remain there after the tour ends.
