Talk on Christopher Wood, complex naïve artist
This illustrated talk explores the life and work of Christopher Wood (1901–1930), a British artist whose brief career produced a remarkable body of work that defied easy categorisation. Self-taught yet deeply influenced by the modernist circles he moved in — from Paris to St Ives — Wood developed a style that was raw, instinctive, and quietly strange. The talk takes place in Penzance on a Monday afternoon, making it a relaxed way to spend time with art history in good company. Whether you already know Wood's paintings or are coming to him fresh, there is plenty here to engage with.
