LECTURE FOR YOUR DIARY- GILLRAY

 Wednesday November 9^th

JAMES GILLRAY: A CATERPILLAR ON THE GREEN LEAF OF REPUTATION

in the KENWYN THEATRE at Truro College

Gillray may well be the greatest political cartoonist who ever lived. The breathtaking audacity and sheer rudeness of his work still has the power to make people laugh out loud and has ensured that his images retain a freshness and vivacity which
present-day satirists still revere.  Linda Smith will guide us through his work, the society in which he lived and the larger-than-life personalities of the day, as viewed by
the master of disrespect.

This is part of the lecture series of the Truro DECORATIVE AND FINE ARTS SOCIETY. 

They present lectures on the second Wednesday of each month (with a break in the summer)

 Lecturers are brought down from all over the country and have to pass rigorous selection procedures.

The people who go are amiably sociable as well as interested in the arts so you would find it a pleasant evening. If you arrive at about 6.30 you ahve a (free) tea or coffee.

The Lectures start at 7pm and last something over the hour. 

There is plenty of free parking at the college.

If you are not a member the lectures cost £5 which I think is a real bargain.

They have a very good website- click on
