Carl Giles who was for many, as much a part of the festive season as the Christmas tree, crackers and the Queen's Speech. So popular were the Giles annuals as Christmas presents that they helped to make him Britain's best loved, most successful and wealthiest cartoonist.
Our last lecture of 2022 features the cartoonist Carl Giles. The talk looks at Giles's life and work with a particular emphasis on his seasonal cartoons which include some of his funniest cartoons but, as the art historian William Feaver pointed out, they also demonstrate that he had few equals when it came to representing Britain in Winter.
Barry Venning is an art historian whose interests and teaching range from the art of late medieval Europe to global contemporary art. Join us for refreshments afterwards.
