This event is at the Museum in the Headley Lecture Theatre and online via Zoom

With Peter Vass, Fellow at Oxford Brookes University

In her short working life, Joan Eardley (1921-1963) gained a huge reputation as both a portraitist and landscape painter.

The images she produced in the 1950s and 60s of Glaswegian children rank as one of the one of the most powerful and poignant evocations of childhood ever made by an artist.
