The Arts Society Lomond and Argyll Lecture
Painting Is Dead… Long Live Photography! by Aliki Braine
When the new process of photography was demonstrated to the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris in January 1839, the history painter Delaroche is reported to have exclaimed “from today painting is dead!”.
Far from sounding the death knell of painting, photography in fact gave rise to a fascinating dialogue between both art forms.
All lectures start at 10.30am, with coffee available from 10am. Lectures are free to members of TASLA or £10 for visitors.
