Illustrated Art Lecture
by Cecily Sash: Director of The Granary School of Painting.
“Towards an analysis and understanding of Modern Painting.”
This lecture wilicover a broad analysis of the development of painting in this century.
Why do modern paintings look the way they do? What are the influences that have changed the way painters see and interpret the world around them?
It is the way artists THINK, in any period, that will determine the way their works will LOOK. It is only with some understanding of the major movements in contemporary art, together with the issues that preoccupy our artists, that we can begin to comprehend the art of our own day.
Comprehension does not necessarily affect our tastes or preferences, but a knowledge of its processes will hopefully extend our understanding and give us a possible approach to the new and unfamiliar.

Born in South Africa, Cecily has lived in Herefordshire for the past ten years, where she produces some stunning work in oil as well as watercolour and print. She also runs a highly respected school for artists in Leominster.
Cecily’s contribution to art in South Africa is noted in Esme Berman’s book “Art and Artists of South Africa” where it is said, “... were Cecily Sash’s personal output of no consequence whatever, she would nonetheless number among the valuable contributors to South African art by virtue of her singular ability as a teacher.”
