Talks would give way over the Summer anyway, so June will see a walk, and July, a visit to Delapre Abbey, the Eleanor Cross and Northampton battlefield. Talks will resume in the Autumn. At least some will be 'live', assuming a new strain or variant hasn't shut everything down again. Details to follow.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfaA0aXKim0gui2k_udj93SMYYNc6ER0dVimcbPfzHuR1wEGPYnkVDMl4f5P9JTYyiXugjUnA3NgJ_ZjA83KCOGBKI_vXzETCVQUZnQ1Ym7d_JTw_oDgFeu3gTf7hgy087QI-6zBN59N4/s850/KAN+May+05.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="530" data-original-width="850" height="314" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfaA0aXKim0gui2k_udj93SMYYNc6ER0dVimcbPfzHuR1wEGPYnkVDMl4f5P9JTYyiXugjUnA3NgJ_ZjA83KCOGBKI_vXzETCVQUZnQ1Ym7d_JTw_oDgFeu3gTf7hgy087QI-6zBN59N4/w502-h314/KAN+May+05.jpg" width="502" /></a></div><p><i><b><span style="font-family: arial;">(ARTworks: the home of creative objects, fine art and arts and crafts)</span></b></i></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">As well as the main exhibition displays, <b><span style="color: red;">ART</span><span style="color: #2b00fe;">works</span></b> also hosts community displays, and a table of items on local history from the <b>Northamptonshire Battlefields Society </b>who publish their own guides at £10 a copy - you can pick one up while you are looking around the exhibitions.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe7nggr11RNalXu3vNQwPnvJABbOTv2_3ZvXe5MIPOKWLlIWu8Baw2B4ko1mXNPTvVvrgc9Sm-9fCK8j5YLqj0KPp5kFOaHwE911_u5q-c6ku9Md4UADxnbaVqrmMkhJL3yqF4whtlK34/s850/KAN+May+06.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="475" data-original-width="850" height="279" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe7nggr11RNalXu3vNQwPnvJABbOTv2_3ZvXe5MIPOKWLlIWu8Baw2B4ko1mXNPTvVvrgc9Sm-9fCK8j5YLqj0KPp5kFOaHwE911_u5q-c6ku9Md4UADxnbaVqrmMkhJL3yqF4whtlK34/w498-h279/KAN+May+06.jpg" width="498" /></a></div><i><b><span style="font-family: arial;">(some of the local history publications from the county's Battlefields Society)</span></b></i>Kettering Art Newshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02353056707808570653noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901646727741843853.post-44311779418539990752021-04-08T07:16:00.001-07:002021-04-08T07:16:16.755-07:00Friends Talk follows the online AGM on 21st April<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHrwbdXnx3nhilymkp9I_59DFJ41uMuHM_EKEyr8YmA4J2XyzX6zch-GRNHPu8NlEqoVf6frmU9Flz60Li0ZsMgdR_VBLooEzhBWjIeaEjJBkNot9FrKXmzeBLHSHUkCMcGW2NreIR9Co/s845/April+2021+AGM+talk+new+style.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="543" data-original-width="845" height="402" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHrwbdXnx3nhilymkp9I_59DFJ41uMuHM_EKEyr8YmA4J2XyzX6zch-GRNHPu8NlEqoVf6frmU9Flz60Li0ZsMgdR_VBLooEzhBWjIeaEjJBkNot9FrKXmzeBLHSHUkCMcGW2NreIR9Co/w624-h402/April+2021+AGM+talk+new+style.jpg" width="624" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><span style="font-family: arial;">AGM papers, Annual Reports, Agenda and joining links are being emailed to members this week.</span><br /><p></p>Kettering Art Newshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02353056707808570653noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901646727741843853.post-12802995391885849002021-04-01T08:14:00.008-07:002021-04-01T08:28:31.645-07:00ARTworks Jigsaw Puzzle<p>For best enjoyment click into fullscreen mode.<br /></p><p><br /></p>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: small;">I began 2020 looking back at what was, for art in Kettering, a very busy 2019.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: small;">2020 has started in the same positive way with a fantastic new exhibition at the Art Gallery.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: small;">Art from the Tate collection has come to Kettering for the first time and
features in a stunning new exhibition in the Alfred East Art Gallery. Modernist work from artists such as Leon Kossoff and Howard Hodgkin are on show in Kettering’s art gallery, complementing and enhancing the wide variety of art in the core collection.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was also a landmark in that, in assembling the exhibition, the Kettering team were able to have some genuine treasures brought back to Northamptonshire on special loan (<i>probably - for some of us, at least - the only time it will happen in our lifetimes</i>) ... the Desborough Mirror and the Desborough Necklace are first rank exhibits usually on show in the British Museum.</span><br />

<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I went to see the Local Treasures exhibition several times - and each time I became aware of different aspects ... there were a great many aspects to try to grasp. And what is hard to see, must have been far harder to actually make - the standard of craftsmanship is very high, people in the past were certainly not stupid brutes.</span></i></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The styles of craftsmanship in the different periods were distinct. But there was a common thread. What would have been considered beautiful in the Celtic Iron Age would have been considered beautiful in the Roman age, or among the Anglo Saxons. Yes each style is different - but with a common core understanding of what is beautiful and what is not beautiful ...</span></i></div>
