Covering a period from around 1800 to the present day, this era includes well-known artists, such as Kandinsky, Matisse, Dali, Hopper, Picasso, Lowry, Vettriano, Hockney, Lichtenstein, Warhol, and Blake. The Industrial Revolution had a significant impact on what occurred in Art and Design over this period. This was very much a two-way process. The influence on our everyday lives now has been immense.

Being an Engineer, Art has previously mostly passed me by. ‘I do like what I see’ and have an unsatisfied yearning for learning and experiencing more.

If you are looking to find out more about Modern Art, or you can bring existing knowledge and experience to the group, you are most welcome. This group will remain – easy-going, encouraging, a place for sharing and participation, along with some fun and laughter.

The group uses WhatsApp for chats and sharing. We are different in that we are open 24/7. Chats tend to revolve around a particular piece of Art, or an Artist, or a theme. Ideas and suggestions are always welcome.
