THE ARTS SOCIETY tAUNTON SPECIAL INTEREST DAY

People think they know Constable through images on chocolate boxes and biscuit tins but often they don’t really understand his most familiar works! Sarah Cove is on a mission to open the eyes of the public to Constable as the ‘Jackson Pollock of the 1830s’. She will show us that, in many ways, he is a true ‘Father of Modern Painting’ through his influence on the French 19th century landscape tradition that led directly to Impressionism, Cezanne and ultimately Picasso!
