 | The Arts Society of Bishop's Stortford | John Singer Sargent: The Private Radical - 10/06/2025 10:40 AM Our next meeting is on the 10th June at South Mill Arts with coffee from 10 a.m. followed at 10.40 a.m. by our lecture by Gavin Plumley on “John Singer Sargent: The Private Radical”. Whether drawing duchesses or portraying princes, John Singer Sargent (1856 – 1925) was high society’s leading portraitist. With a consummate technique, his luxurious canvases mirrored his subjects’ wealth. Yet beneath the veneer of works such as Madame X, The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit and Lady Agnew lurks a much rawer world. Sargent certainly scandalised Parisian society with his frank depictions of human sexuality, yet he was even more modern than they might have feared. This talk charts the artists life and his prolific output, showing that, like the era he came to represent, Sargent was always on the cusp of seismic change. Come and be entertained, enthralled and amazed. Visitors are very welcome for which we invite a donation of £7.

 | EXHIBITION ON SCREEN EOS ENCORE - Michelangelo: Love & Death - 10/06/2025 02:00 PM Michelangelo - Love & Death Directed by David Bickerstaff – Produced by Phil Grabsky The spectacular sculptures and paintings of Michelangelo seem so familiar to us, but what do we really know about this Renaissance giant? Michelangelo’s genius is evident in everything he touched. Beautiful and diverse works such as the towering statue of David, the moving Pietà in the Papal Basilica of St. Peter and his tour-de-force, the Sistine Chapel ceiling, still leave us breathless today. Spanning his 88 years, Michelangelo - Love and Death takes a cinematic journey through the print and drawing rooms of Europe through the great chapels and museums of Florence, Rome and the Vatican to seek out a deeper understanding of this legendary figure’s tempestuous life, his relationship with his contemporaries and his incredible legacy. Through expert commentary, stunning visuals and Michelangelo’s own words, this film takes a fresh look at a master artist whose life and genius are celebrated in every mark he made. Returning to cinemas in 2025 to celebrate this iconic artist’s 550th birthday. Sculptor, painter, architect, poet, genius - discover why Michelangelo is without a doubt one of the greatest artists of all time. View Details | View Details |

 | Japanese Avant-Garde Pioneers - 17/06/2025 11:00 AM OFFER: Buy tickets to two separate International Film Festival films and get £2 off each film. Amidst the profound social change and political turmoil of post-war Japan, a bold
generation of avant-garde artists emerged in the 1960s, redefining the boundaries of art
through experimental photography, graphic design, underground theatre, performance
art and radical Butoh dance—forever transforming the global art landscape. The 1960s era in Japan was a time of profound social change,
political unrest and student protests. The turbulent times of the
postwar era inspired an artistic explosion in Japan, with the
emergence of a revolutionary scene of avant-garde artists who
pioneered many disciplines: experimental and erotic
photography, “Angura” theatre and underground street
performances, apocalyptic Butoh dance, surreal illustrations and
seminal graphic design. A new aesthetic of photography was born: “Are, Bure, Boke”
(rough, dark and out of focus), pioneered by Moriyama Daidō
and the Provoke magazine photographers. Araki beautied
bondage and Hosoe Eikoh sublimated the male body. Ishiuchi
Miyako captured her experience of American military bases.
Kawada Kikuji’s era-dening photobook The Map captured the
poignancy of Hiroshima’s trauma. Master of underground theatre Terayama Shūji produced
countless magical, surreal and vividly colourful lms, plays and
photobooks, Yokoo Tadanori and Awazu Kiyoshi revolutionised
graphic design with their incandescent theatre posters, Tanaami
Keiichi, Japan’s answer to Andy Warhol, developed his unique
kaleidoscopic vision of Pop-Art, and Butoh founders Hijikata
Tatsumi and Ohno Kazuo impacted modern dance forever with
their dance of darkness and light. Director: Amélie Ravalec Starring: Araki Nobuyoshi, Moriyama Daid, Hosoe Eikoh, Ishiuchi
