In the Frame

Talk at the Charleston Festival based on the successful “Picture This” series of talks at Somerset House which asked authors to pick their favourite picture in the Courtauld collection and write a piece about it.

At this event Julia Neuberger discussed Camille Pissarro's “Lordship Lane Station, Dulwich” and Colm Tobin mused on Paul Cezanne's inner thoughts as he painted “Route Tournante”. She gave a lovely talk on how she’d worked in the area her picture showed and how the social history behind it whereas Colm Tobin’s talk was an almost poetic analysis of the picture and its themes.

The event was chaired at short notice by the author Patrick Gale.
