Two lectures about The East London Group whose artists came from the three weekly evening classes run by the artist John Cooper and other ex-Slade artists, including London Group member Walter Sickert, at the Bow and Bromley Evening Institute in East London from the mid-1920s to late 1930’s.
The East London Group exhibited at the major galleries of the day, including The Whitechapel Art Gallery, Tate Gallery and the Lefevre Gallery, some were selected to be shown at the Venice Biennale. The lectures aim to introduce this group of talented artists, forgotten post-WW2, but who have begun to be rediscovered.
