Dulwich Picture Gallery
Exhibitions and Displays in 2010/11
IS: Historic Founded in 1811, it was the first purpose-built public art gallery in England Beautiful The Gallery is a masterpiece by the Regency architect Sir John Soane, set in idyllic grounds in leafy Dulwich, a green oasis only four miles from central London
Accessible Our Education programmes have won countless awards; we welcome all ages, and are dedicated to encouraging the enjoyment of the visual arts for all. The Gallery has excellent disabled access Stimulating Our exhibition programme offers a minimum of three critically acclaimed loan exhibitions a year
Peaceful It is a place of quiet contemplation, off the beaten track but readily accessible by rail, car, bus, or bike

Amazing The view down the Gallery is one of the most dazzling visual feasts in London Original How many other Galleries have their Founders’ mausoleum at their heart?
ISN’T: Government funded We are an independent museum and a Charitable Trust, reliant on fund-raising for everything that we accomplish. As part of that challenge, the Friends of Dulwich Picture Gallery are amongst the most dynamic and supportive in the museum world
Rediscovering Old Masters: The Melosi Series
Civilised Our café offers delicious food in a sophisticated contemporary extension – an award-winning building by architect Rick Mather – with views of the Gallery and its beautiful grounds
Salvator Rosa (1615–1673): Bandits, Wilderness and Magic
Chapel Openings You can enter Christ’s Chapel of Alleyn’s College of God’s Gift from Dulwich Picture Gallery’s cloister. The chapel was consecrated in 1616 by George Abbot, Archbishop of Canterbury, as part of the Dulwich College Foundation Every Tuesday 1.30–3.30pm
15 September – 28 November Salvator Rosa invented novel allegorical pictures, fanciful portraits of romantic and enigmatic figures, both macabre and horrific; highly original and philosophical subjects. No other artist has created windswept landscapes of such emotional power, or figures of such dark intensity. Unlike Caravaggio, Rosa was truly a rebel, radical, anti-clerical, associated with libertine thought, and often in real danger from the Inquisition The exhibition has been supported by The Arthur and Holly Magill Foundation
REDISCOVERING OLD MASTERS: THE MELOSI SERIES
Supported by the Friends of Dulwich Picture Gallery
Exhibitions and Displays in 2010/11 Norman Rockwell’s America
Sculpture in the Garden: Peter Randall-Page’s Walking the Dog The sculpture will be unveiled to coincide with the Salvator Rosa exhibition. Peter Randall-Page is a famous English sculptor who recently had an exhibition at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. The sculpture has been given to the Gallery by the Art Fund to celebrate the Gallery’s 200th anniversary in 2011
15 December 2010 – 27 March 2011 Norman Rockwell was America’s best-known and best-loved illustrator for over six decades of the 20th century. Astonishingly prolific, he is best known for the 322 covers he created for the Saturday Evening Post, and countless other magazine illustrations and advertisements, capturing images of everyday American life with a humour and power of observation that spoke directly to the public, whose love for his work never wavered
Masterpiece a Month: Presiding Genius One every month from January – December 2011 As a celebration of the Gallery’s bicentenary, during each month of 2011 a masterpiece will be on show at the end of Sir John Soane’s famous enfilade. Each work will be a show-stopper borrowed from a major international institution with a historical link to the Gallery. This will include works by Velazquez, El Greco, Rembrandt, Vermeer, Ingres, Van Gogh, Constable, Domenichino, David Hockney and many others

29 June – 25 September 2011 Although separated by three centuries, they share some remarkable similarities. Their work will be shown side by side for the first time. The connections are highlighted by comparing the key themes of Arcadia and the pastoral, passion and love, violence and war, and mythological figures that are central to both artists’ work
Friends Easter Open Exhibition 22 May – 8 May The Friends of Dulwich Picture Gallery’s biennial exhibition of works by the Friends. Selected works, chosen by the Director from all submissions, will be on display.

InSight Lecture Series A River Runs Through It
Ceramics 10.30–11.30am Linbury room Pots have been an essential of life since the first civilisations; of such value that artists refined and decorated them making them works of art. This series traces the development of ceramics, before we hear from two notable contemporary ceramicists Series of 3 £25, £20 Friends Single lecture £10, £8 Friends Coffee afterwards An Introduction to World Ceramics Wednesday 22 September This chronological survey explores how concepts of utility, religious belief, literature, trade, rituals of dining and drinking and royal patronage have influenced the search for technical excellence and inspired a variety of vessel forms and surface decoration Anne Haworth lecturer, the V&A.

Tuesday Evening Lecture Series Watercolour, Oils, Acrylic
Painting in Watercolour: the Light in the Pigment
10.30–11.30am Linbury Room Applying paint to surface enables artists to express what they want the viewer to see and comprehend. But materials have their own secrets to reveal, their own genius. Showing paintings over the centuries, three experts explore the artists’ choices, the limitations and versatility of different paints and reveal how artists use them to communicate their art
Wednesday 17 November Everybody starts with watercolour, but very few ever master its subtleties. It is the sketcher’s medium, portable and quick-drying whilst Cézanne or Paul Klee treat it like stained glass, overlaying blocks of transparent colour. This is a wide-ranging exploration of what watercolour is really capable of. Timothy Wilcox curated The Triumph of Watercolour, at Dulwich Picture Gallery in 2005
Series of 3 £25, £20 Friends Single lecture £10, £8 Friends Coffee afterwards Oil Painting Across the Ages Wednesday 3 November Jill Dunkerton will describe the properties of oil paint and cover its use from medieval painting through to the development in the nineteenth century of manufactured paint in tubes and will explain how it was used to produce works by artists ranging from Van Eyck and Titian through to Van Gogh Jill Dunkerton is a restorer in the Conservation Department at the National Gallery
Modern Paint Matters Wednesday 1 December From the 1930s to the present, artists have embraced new media and methods resulting in some of the most exciting and innovative modern and contemporary artworks. This talk will describe key moments in the development of modern painting, together with descriptions of techniques and a discussion of how well this art is faring Patricia Smithen is Head of Conservation, Tate
Crossing Frontiers: a Journey through Art
Travellers’ Tales: Italian Art through the Eyes of Victorian Travellers
7.45–9.15pm Linbury Room
Tuesday 28 September Italy, in the mid-nineteenth century, may have been a collection of poor, fragmented states, but it was also the destination for many English travellers. Byron, Ruskin, the Brownings and Dickens all travelled there, and wrote of the art and culture they discovered. In this talk we’ll explore the history of Italian painting through the eyes of such travellers, discovering how they reacted to the early Renaissance beauty of Fra Angelico or the turbulent exuberance of Tintoretto Lecturer: Jo Walton
This series examines art from around the world and will show how art in different countries and periods varies and that there can also be surprising similarities Series of 6 lectures £50, £40 Friends Single lectures £10, £8 Friends Bar in the interval Art Down Under: Australian Art from the Convict Years to the Modern Era Tuesday 21 September Dreamtime, convicts and early settlers – artistic responses to life in the strange new continent were initially seen through European, and especially British, artistic traditions. In the 19th century, Australian Impressionism & the Heidelberg School challenged the dominance of the ‘Victorian’ style. The First World War was a watershed in Australian and New Zealand history. Artists found their own language to depict the unique landscape and culture Down Under. At the same time, indigenous artists began to respond to contemporary life Lecturer: Val Woodgate

Degenerates and others – German Art in the 20th Century Tuesday 5 October Many major German artists, along with others from elsewhere in Europe, were reviled by the Nazis and included in the Entartete Kunst (Degenerate Art) exhibition in Munich in 1937, but innovative and exciting German art started much earlier, with the Expressionist Die Brücke group in 1905 and Der Blaue Reiter in 1911. This lecture examines these early modern movements, looks at Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity) of the 1920s and antiNazi art, coming right up to date with controversial and imaginative artists such as Joseph Beuys, Rebecca Horn and Anselm Kiefer Lecturer: Frank Woodgate Constructing the Future: Early 20th Century Russian Art Tuesday 12 October After the break-up of the Soviet Union and with the re-invigoration of Russia as an economic and political force, there has been a growing interest in Russian art. Russian buyers have made great efforts to ‘repatriate’ their artistic heritage. Moreover, recent exhibitions in London have underlined the importance of the Russian avant-garde in the development of modern art in the early 20th century. This talk will explore the work of some of the key figures, such as Kandinsky, Malevich and Goncharova Lecturer: Peter Scott

Futurism, “Poor Art” and Provocation: Italian 20th and 21st Century Art Tuesday 19 October Italian artists of the 20th Century sought to break with the art of the past, to provoke and challenge notions of what art should be. The Italian Futurists celebrated industrialism and the machine, they encouraged radicalism and later supported Mussolini. This talk will look at other important and innovative Italian artists including Modigliani, Morandi and the “Arte Povera” group who used inexpensive, everyday materials to create their art works. It will also explore how Italian artists are still continuing to shake things up today Lecturer: Melanie Paice

Coming soon… Contextual Lecture Series 2011
Saturday Study Days with Valerie Woodgate
Tuesday 26 October For many years Scottish artists found it necessary to travel south to make their names and careers in art, but with the increasing importance of the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow from the end of the 18th century, an independent Scottish art scene became possible. These developments will be traced through individuals such as Sir Henry Raeburn, the first artist to find success whilst remaining in his native Scotland, and Sir David Wilkie, important as one of the first to export Scottish arts Lecturer: Rosalind Whyte
