Painting the Modern Garden:Monet to Matisse, Friday 22 March 2024, 1pm & 6pm
Claude Monet was an avid horticulturist and arguably the most important painter of gardens in the history of art, but he was not alone. Great artists like Van Gogh, Bonnard, Sorolla, Sargent, Pissarro and Matisse all saw the garden as a powerful subject for their art.

John Singer Sargent: Fashion and Swagger, Friday 26 April 2024, 1pm & 6pm
John Singer Sargent is known as the greatest portrait artist of his era.

Through interviews with curators, contemporary fashionistas and style influencers, Exhibition on Screen’s film will examine how Sargent’s unique practice has influenced modern art, culture and fashion.
