Join us for visit to the Ulster Museum's new exhibition: Lavery on Location as you look for inspiration for this year's ekphrasis pamphlet.
Open to any postgraduate creative writing student.
As this exhibition is ticketed and the Seamus Heaney Centre will provide complimentary tickets, please ensure that if you are unable to attend after signing up that you email shc@qub.ac.uk to let us know.
Lavery On Location explores some of the key destinations in Lavery’s art, from Morocco and Palm Springs to Lough Derg in County Donegal. The exhibition includes studies of Switzerland, France, Ireland and North Africa, as well as evocative cityscapes of Glasgow, Venice, Cannes and New York. Such was the richness and variety of Lavery's work, that Winston Churchill described his artistic mentor as a 'plein-airiste (an outdoor painter) if ever there was one' and he is the only Irishman to receive the Freedom of both Dublin and Belfast.
The exhibition includes over 70 works, many from private collections, and offers a rare opportunity to discover more about this captivating and less well-known area of Lavery’s career.
