In this lecture, art historian and academic Ysanne Holt will share her current research on the cultural history of this region, exploring artists’ engagements with the landscapes of this cross-border region from the interwar period to the present. Those for consideration include Winifred Nicholson and William Johnstone in the earlier decades, Land/environmental artists of the 1970s and 80s, and the practices of artists now directly concerned with impacts of climate change. Author of British Art and the Modernist Landscape (Ashgate) Professor Holt has published widely on the subjects of modern British art, the representation of landscape and a sense of place.
