The Magic of Pattern by David Phillips
The Arts Society, Havering February The Magic of Pattern by David Phillips
Tuesday 14 February 2023
From the Alhambra to William Morris, patterns can be gorgeous, yet pattern has often been dismissed as “mere ornament” in comparison with painting. We will discover what a mistaken view that is as we look at the ideas that inspired some of the great pattern inventors and traditions from around the world. We’ll see that whilst some glorious effects depend on very simple patterning procedures, others can be wonderfully clever, as we watch patterns evolving across the screen in beautiful animations.
David studied History at Oxford, and from 1968-82 worked for Nottingham Castle Museum. From 1982-98, Lecturer in Museum Studies and Art History at University of Manchester. Published a book about museum practice with Manchester University Press, Exhibiting Authenticity (1997).
This will take place on Tuesday 14 February 10:30 am at the New Windmill Hall Upminster RM14 2QH.
The event is open to visitors for a fee of £8.00.
