Every month we now hold very successful meetings of our Look Club, an informal gathering where we discuss a work of art in the Whitworth Gallery. Recently our discussions have covered the Cozens and Cozens exhibition, the Musgrave Kinley Outsider Art Collection, Howard Hodgkin's Interior at Oakwood Court and, most recently the work of Raqib Shaw.
At the January meeting we will discuss the art of Cecily Brown whose exhibition Shipwrecks opens on November 17th. This exhibition of drawings is, of wrecked ships and their passengers and her practice of painterly interrogation of an existing image here takes on one of the most celebrated paintings in the world; Géricault’s The Raft of the Medusa, 1819. Brown re-examines human presence, figuration and representations of maritime tragedy throughout history.
Discussion will be led by Samantha Lackey, Senior Curator at the Whitworth.
