Talk - Art, Society, and War in Europe, 1914 - 1945
Art and war are perennial partners. Be their narrative celebratory, as in Delacroixs triumphal portrayal of Liberty Guiding the People in 1830s France; heroic in defeat, as in the Elizabeth Thompson depiction of Dr Brydons epic journey to safety during the retreat from Kabul (1842); or condemnatory, as in Picassos 1937 Guernica, art has told the story of conflict in ways that words alone could never do. In his talk, Dr Whitfield will consider the ways in which art was used by belligerent European nations in the two world wars of the Twentieth Century, with reference to the work of artists such as Paul Nash, Christopher Nevinson, Laura Knight, Henry Moore, and Otto Dix. During the Second World War, women artists played a more significant part than in the First, and this aspect of the Home Front war effort was more prominently featured. Examples will be shown and discussed. Some years ago, Dr Whitfield undertook extensive research of the correspondence archive of Sir Kenneth Clark, the Director of the National Gallery from 1934 to 1945. Much of this research has not previously been published. Selected items from the research relating to the National Gallery and its collection will form the basis of his talk.Read more

Walk in the Footsteps of our Cookham Ancestors
Cookham has a long and fascinating history with, of course, much of it happening before we humans appeared. This two-hour walk takes us on a journey into the far distant past before bringing us not quite up to date with medieval Cookham. We start at Holy Trinity church and the 8th century Abbey nearby before following in the steps of our earliest ancestors up the Thames valley, through landscapes of pre-human times, taking in Bronze Age burials and early medieval farming before we end on Cookham Moor in the village and its link to the early medieval common land of which this is a remnant. Meet beneath Holy Trinity Church tower. Parking is available behind the nearby parish centre. Please ensure that you wear the appropriate clothing and footwear for the terrain and anticipated weather.Read more
