A Lecture by Leslie Primo

This lecture will explore the enduring Western invention and obsession with the so-called ‘exotic’ or ‘noble savage’ after the discovery of Tahiti in 1767 and chart the impact of the English and European influences that came to this part of the world through the eyes of not only Captain Cook, and those that came before him, but also through the paintings of the extraordinary artists accompanying these pioneering voyages; and into the 19th century and early 20th century with the images of Gauguin.

Where & When: The Sacred Heart Church Hall on Wednesday 10th September at 8 pm (coffee from 7.30 pm). Also available on Zoom.

Tickets: Members free. Visitors & guests: £10
