The German-speaking world witnessed sweeping change during the early part of the 20th century with war, the collapse of dynasties and economic instability.

Cultural historian and broadcaster Gavin Plumley looks at how the artistic minds of Austria and Germany charted these uncertainties, with works centred on the self and its position within society. The lecture will include images by Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Otto Dix and Max Beckmann.

Gavin’s first book, A Home for All Seasons, will be published in 2022.

Young Wells musicians will perform in the foyer preceding this talk.

A special CHATS supper will be available after the talk, consisting of Sushi and a glass of wine. This can be purchased through the box office for £10, pre-bookings only.

Tickets: £10 unreserved, 18s and under free (but please book) Buy tickets here
