The Art History Group is suitable for those who have an interest in developing an appreciation of Western Art by exploring the interpretation of paintings on offer, analysing their aesthetic appeal and understanding the context in which they were produced.
Whether you are a relative beginner or well informed in this field there is much to be derived from taking part in illustrated talks to become better acquainted with many artists and their important works.
The Art History Group is presented by Bertram Aitchison QPM who studied Art History at Birkbeck College, London University, including extensive disciplines in Classical and Renaissance Art, French 19 th Century Art and Modern Art.
Bertram is a former Director of British Life and Culture courses with the American Institute for Foreign Study where he was also a hands on tutor of Art History and British History in both London and Oxford. He won the London Blue Badge Guide of the Year award in 2000 and has considerable experience of British and European touring. He is a registered guide for all major UK galleries, Museums and Royal Palaces.
