CELEBRATING SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL Sir Winston Churchill looms large in any history book about the 20th century. His two terms as Great Britain’s prime minister coincided with World War II and the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. A prodigious writer as well as a master politician, Churchill was also an avid painter, a passion most-recently highlighted in an episode of Netflix’s award-winning TV series “The Crown.” “When I get to heaven I mean to spend a considerable portion of my first million years in painting,” Churchill said, “and so get to the bottom of the subject.”
Winston & Clementine, Manalapan, Florida, 1946
The Society of the Four Arts presents a look at the legendary man through an art exhibition of his works, a lecture on his life and art by his granddaughter Edwina Sandys, a film chronicling his life in the mid-1930s, and a lecture about his postwar speeches sounding the alarm about the rise of Joseph Stalin.
