Description
In this special Advent Calendar mini-episode, we were joined by the art historian Philip Hook, who has spent much of his career as an impressionist and modern art expert at Sotheby's. Hook has sold many of the major paintings from that period including Edvard Munch's The Scream. His new book, ART OF THE EXTREME, takes place in the years running up to the First World War, where all of the major "-isms" (i.e. Fauvism, Cubism, Expressionism) began to take shape. He examines these movements against the popular art of the day, making a powerful case for the importance of ignoring conventional thought and forging new paths forward. We hope you enjoy another wine-infused conversation from our bustling Christmas Evening at Hatchards. Happy Christmas!Hosted by Ryan Edgington and Matt Hennessey.
