Van Gogh & Gauguin “A Terrible Lucidity” by Douglas Skeggs 1888 found Vincent Van Gogh in the old Roman town of Arles where he hoped to set up a fellowship of artists. He was joined by Paul Gauguin and, although the two artists admired each other, it was a disastrous combination of personalities as they were irritated, maddened and exasperated by each other. Respect and loathing became one and within two months Van Gogh was on a path to the confines of a hospital cell in which his final and most memorable paintings were made. Non-Members welcome, £6.00. The lectures are one hour long, but leave extra time for announcements etc. For more information on future lectures and other activities see www.theartssocietyabingdon.org.uk or email [email protected] From 10 till 4 on Saturday November 30th, Oxfam Abingdon will be holding a one day only Pop-Up Christmas store at St Ethelwold House, 30 East St. Helen Street, Abingdon.

  • Notes and News
    Notes and News TilE CENTENARY OF THE SOCIETY The Oxford Architectural and Historical Society will be one hundred years old next year. The Society was founded in 1839 in the hey-day of the Oxford Movement as a society for promoting the study of Gothic architecture, and because it met in Oxford the word' Oxford' was prefixed to its title. In 1848 it incorporated the' Oxford Heraldic and Archaeological Society,' In course of time it came to be known as the Oxford Architectural Society, and its present name was not adopted until 1860. 1t is proposed to celebrate the centenary in the summer term of 1939, when all the meetings of the society will in some way commemorate the event. One paper will be read on the history of the Society, for which there is ample material in minutes, accounts, reports, and correspondence. much of which is both interesting and amusing. A second paper will be on the Oxford l\1ovement, out of which the Society arose. The third and last paper, in June, on the Gothic revival in architecture, will be combined with an exhibition of drawings, books, portraits, and other material illustrating the history of the Society and what it has stood for, and will be followed by an evening party in the Ashmolean Museum. One or two half-day excursions and one whole-day excur­ sion will aJso be arranged. Finally a permanent record will be published in a small centenary number of Oxolliellsia to be issued in June with the volume for 1939. It is a modest programme, but it is the utmost the Society can do without emharking­ on expenditure which it cannot afford.
