Each talk needs to be booked separately. \n\nTalk 2: Classicism in Victorian Painting – G.F. Watts is on 24 Oct\n\n  \nThis talk is part of our Love & Legacy season of events. \n\nBOOKING\nThe in-person talk is in the Headley Lecture Theatre and online via Zoom. \nTickets are £10.

Booking is essential \nBook tickets below \n  \n\nWith Mallica Kumbera Landrus\, exhibition curator and Professor and Keeper of Eastern Art\, Curator of Indian\, Himalayan and Southeast Asian Art \nJoin Mallica for a talk about the Colonial Views of India: Photographs by Eugene Clutterbuck Impey exhibition\, which offers a rare glimpse of 19th-century India captured through the lens of British colonial officer Eugene Clutterbuck Impey (1830–1904). \nA member of the East India Company\, Impey arrived in India in 1851 and took part in military actions during the Indian Uprising of 1857. After the British Crown took control in 1858 following the Uprising\, he worked as a political agent until returning to Britain in 1878. He spent the rest of his years in Oxford. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n \nSeated girl\, 1858-1865 \n\n\n\n\n\n \nSepia photo of Qutub tower \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nImpey’s photographs reflect British imperial interests\, showcasing portraits of colonial officers and Indians\, as well as staged scenes of daily life\, clothing\, religious sites\, animals\, and landscapes. \nThese images often reinforced stereotypes with the aim to justify colonial efforts. Photography\, which gained popularity after its debut in 1839\, was used to highlight cultural differences. From the mid-1800s British officials documented various social groups in India\, often categorising people by ethnicity. \nThis is the first exhibition to focus on photographs and negatives in the Ashmolean\, and as such features previously unseen photographs of India by Impey. \nThis event is part of our Love & Legacy season of events. \n\nBOOKING\nThe in-person tour takes place in the Headley Lecture Theatre and the online talk is via Zoom \nTickets are £10.

Booking is essential \nTickets will be available soon \n\nWith Juliet Heslewood\, art historian \nFrom ancient times\, the unique appearance of trees has been recorded for multiple reasons. \nThey play their part in interiors or as sculptural supports. Biblical trees serve symbolic purposes whereas in landscape painting they form identifiable features of the natural world. Japanese print-makers used trees as compositional devices. Artists such as Paul Nash or Ai Wei Wei used trees to reveal political ideas. Single trees have also appeared as an unusual form of portraiture. \nIn this talk Juliet Heslewood will discuss some of these intriguing depictions of trees in art. \n \nEarly Morning\, Samuel Palmer\, 1825\, pen and brown ink with brush in sepia \n\nThis is the second talk in this series of two. Each talk needs to be booked separately. \n\nTalk 1 – Ponds in art: Durer to Monet – Sat 6 Jun\n\nThe talk is part of our Shaped by Nature 2026 season of events. \n\nBOOKING\nThis event takes place in-person at the Museum\, and online via Zoom \nTickets are £8 each.

Book below \n\nWith Sascha Akhtar\, poet and translator \nWork with poet and translator Sascha Akhtar\, to produce asemic poems\, which explore meaning beyond language. \nThe ‘asemic’ refers to forms of communication and expression that use a visual lexicon. \nSascha will guide you through the Pat Suet-Bik Hui & The Three Perfectionists exhibition in Gallery 11\, looking at examples of poetry\, calligraphy and painting. \nInspired by this exhibition\, you will then have a chance to create asemic poems yourself before connecting your newfound practical knowledge to the Chinese artistic tradition during an in-depth study session. \nThe importance of calligraphy to Chinese art has meant that writing has always functioned as a visual medium\, bridging the gap between the painterly brushstroke and the poetic word. \nThis movement of writing beyond the meaning of words will be further connected to Chinese philosophies of nature\, where a true understanding of reality requires a silent\, non-linguistic perception of the formal unity of mind and world. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n \nLost Letters\, Xu Bing\, 1997\, multi-block woodcut\, printed with oil-based ink \n\n\n\n\n\n \nPainting with Poem by Xin Qiji\, Pat Suet-Bik Hui & Wucius Wong\, 1987\, ink & colour on paper © Ashmolean Museum \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nAll materials will be provided. \nThis event is part of our Shaped by Nature season of events. \n\nBOOKING\nOne-day practical session in the Ashmolean Learning Studio \nTickets are £105 for the one-day workshop \nBooking is essential \n

Featuring work by Gauguin\, Picasso\, Matisse\, Cézanne and Van Gogh\, this ‘artquake’ transformed perceptions of art in Britain forever. \nIntent on making the British public more attentive to beauty and good design\, Fry founded the Omega Workshop in 1912\, employing young artists to produce highly original household goods for the middle and upper classes. \nYet he was a divisive figure – ‘a shark in aesthetic waters\,’ as one contemporary called him. \nJoin us for this talk to find out more… \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nFanny Claus\, Edward Manet\, 1868\, oil on canvas\, on display in Gallery 65 \n\n\n\n\n\n \nSir Charles Holroyd\, Roger Fry\, 1899\, etched copper plate \n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nDr. David Boyd Haycock is a Visiting Research Fellow at Oxford Brookes University.
