Breeches, Bonnets and Bags - Rosalind Whyte
2024-09-16 19:00 - 21:00 | The Crossing Theatre, 117 Tibbereena Street, Narrabri, NSW, 2390, Australia
Join Rosalind Whyte in Cinema 1, The Crossing Theatre Narrabri, for an informative evening on Breeches, Bonnets and Bags
This arts talk follows different fashions as revealed in paintings, looking at dress and accessories, and some of the more ridiculous styles of fashion from the 16th century to the 19th century. Whilst the ordinary working folk might have longed for a wardrobe full of reds, purples and golds (or, indeed, for a wardrobe at all!), their ‘superiors’ may well have envied them their ability to move freely in their clothes, without ruffs, stuffed sleeves, enormous petticoats, or headdresses the size of small animals …. sometimes also containing small animals! Have fun exploring the wildest extremes of fashion through the ages.
Rosalind Whyte holds a BA and MA from Goldsmith’s College, and an MA (distinction) from Birkbeck College. An experienced guide at Tate Britain, Tate Modern, the Royal Academy and Greenwich, she also lectures on cruises and at the Tate to independent art societies.
Tickets:
$35 on night
$30 Online booking before the event.
Complimentary refreshments served after the talk.

Matisse: Simple Beauty - Paul Chapman
2024-10-21 19:00 - 21:00 | The Crossing Theatre, 117 Tibbereena Street, Narrabri, NSW, 2390, Australia
Join Paul Chapman in Cinema 1, The Crossing Theatre Narrabri, for an informative evening on Matisse: Simple Beauty.
Matisse is regarded, along with Pablo Picasso, as one of the artists who best helped to define the revolutionary developments in the visual arts throughout the opening decades of the twentieth century. His intense use of colour in his paintings between 1900 and 1905 brought him notoriety. In later age he had a second flourish as an avant-garde artist and developed his cut-out style, using collage techniques with coloured paper. A critically acclaimed artist of the 20th century and an inspiration to countless generations of painters that followed.
Paul Chapman is a writer, art historian and a National Gallery trained guide with many years of experience working in education. Paul has a long-standing commitment in conjunction with the National Gallery as a tour guide at the Longford Castle art collection, and he is also a visiting tutor at Marlborough College and a tutor at MCSS.
