Andrew Graham-Dixon
Writing about Art

A visit to an art gallery is always enhanced by some knowledge of the artists and their background and a guided tour with an expert can offer a fresh look at art history, challenging many myths and misconceptions. In Writing about Art Andrew Graham-Dixon, one of the leading art critics and presenters of arts television, will explore the history of art and penetrate the many layers beneath a painting.

Andrew has presented six landmark series on art for the BBC, including the acclaimed A History of British Art, Renaissance and Art of Eternity, as well as numerous individual documentaries on art and artists. For more than twenty years he has published a weekly column on art, and has written a number of highly commended books, on subjects ranging from medieval painting and sculpture to the art of the present. His most recent book is Michelangelo and the Sistine Chapel, and he is currently working on a biography of Caravaggio. For further information see www.andrewgrahamdixon.com. This event is for members only. It will be followed by the AGM.
