Art History Talk – Georgia O’Keeffe, ‘More than just Flowers’ Date: Tuesday 8th October 2024 Timings:2.00pm for the Lecture, followed by Tea & Cake in the Pavilion Gallery at 3pm (doors open from 1.30pm) Venue:Penarth Pier Pavilion Ticket/s: £15.50per person (+ booking fee) - Ticket price includes Tea & Cake Join us this October to hear acclaimed art history lecturer, Stella Grace Lyons’s fascinating talk on Georgia O’Keeffe. Despite Georgia O’Keeffe’s insistence that her paintings of flowers were just flowers, they have always been interpreted as containing explicit sexual symbolism. Georgia O’Keeffe was more than just flowers. She painted cityscapes, nature, animal skulls, and her beloved New Mexico. Throughout her life she struggled with being pigeon-holed – not only as a painter of suggestive paintings, but as a ‘female artist’ or as the ‘wife’ of the photographer and art dealer Alfred Stieglitz. This talk explores how she overcame these prejudices and went from being a Midwestern farm girl to becoming the first woman to have one-woman shows at major art museums. Come along and explore the varied work and fascinating life of this determined and driven ‘Mother of Modernism’, Georgia O’Keeffe. ‘Without sacrificing scholarship, Stella Grace Lyons has a most engaging way of hooking an audience into sharing her passionate interest in art history, drawing three dimensional human stories and experiences from the two-dimensional canvas' - Maev Kennedy, Guardian Arts Correspondent Following the talk, please stay for tea and delicious homemade cake, served in the Pavilion’s beautiful Gallery. Sgwrs Hanes Celf – Georgia O'Keeffe, 'Mwy na Blodau' Dyddiad: Dydd Mawrth 8 Hydref 2024 Amseru: 2.00pm ar gyfer y Ddarlith, wedyn Te a Theisen yn Oriel y Pafiliwn am 3pm (drysau’n agor am 1.30pm) Lleoliad: Pafiliwn Pier Penarth Tocyn(nau): £15.50 y pen (+ ffi archebu) - Mae pris y tocyn yn cynnwys te a theisen Ymunwch â ni fis Hydref i glywed sgwrs ddiddorol y ddarlithwraig hanes celf o fri, Stella Grace Lyons, ar Georgia O’Keefe. Er gwaethaf honiad Georgia O'Keeffe mai blodau yn unig oedd ei phaentiadau o flodau, maent bob amser wedi cael eu dehongli fel rhai sy'n cynnwys symbolaeth rywiol benodol. Roedd Georgia O'Keeffe yn fwy na blodau. Peintiodd ddinasluniau, byd natur, penglogau anifeiliaid, a'i New Mexico annwyl. Trwy gydol ei bywyd brwydrodd yn erbyn cael ei neilltuo i ddiffiniadau penodol – nid yn unig yn beintiwr paentiadau awgrymiadol, ond yn 'artist benywaidd' neu’n 'wraig' y ffotograffydd a'r gwerthwr celf, Alfred Stieglitz. Mae'r sgwrs hon yn archwilio sut y goresgynnodd y rhagfarnau hyn a sut aeth o fod yn ferch fferm canolbarth UDA i fod y fenyw gyntaf i gynnal sioeau un fenyw mewn amgueddfeydd celf mawr. Dewch draw i archwilio gwaith amrywiol a bywyd diddorol 'Mam Moderniaeth' benderfynol a llawn cyffro hon, Georgia O'Keeffe. ‘Heb aberthu ysgolheictod, mae Stella Grace Lyons yn defnyddio dull deniadol o ennyn diddordeb cynulleidfa i rannu ei brwdfrydedd dros hanes celf, gan dynnu straeon a phrofiadau dynol tri dimensiwn allan o’r cynfas dau ddimensiwn’ - Maev Kennedy, Gohebydd Celfyddydau The Guardian Yn dilyn y sgwrs, arhoswch i gael te a theisen gartref flasus, wedi'u gweini yn Oriel hardd y Pafiliwn.

Plump little people dressed in heavy winter clothes huddle amongst falling snowflakes. Women cook pancakes as children play with spinning tops. The people of the village dance and eat street food as part of a manic, boozy knees-up. Bruegel painted humanity. His paintings are worlds you can enter, with enough detail to keep you entertained for hours. Despite being nearly 500 years old, his works are not old masters out-of-touch with our times. They still speak to us today: his characters party, brawl, flirt, gossip, and kiss, against a backdrop of political turmoil. This talk will explore the comedy and horror of this pioneering 16th Century Netherlandish master. ‘Without sacrificing scholarship, Stella Grace Lyons has a most engaging way of hooking an audience into sharing her passionate interest in art history, drawing three dimensional human stories and experiences from the two-dimensional canvas' - Maev Kennedy, Guardian Arts Correspondent Following the talk, please stay for tea and cake, served in the Pavilion’s beautiful Gallery.

Pobl fach tew yn gwisgo dillad gaeaf trwm yn cwtsio ymysg y plu eira sy’n cwympo. Menyw yn coginio crempogau wrth i blant chwarae gyda throellwyr. Pobl y pentref yn dawnsio ac yn bwyta bwyd stryd fel rhan o barti manig, meddwol. Peintiodd Bruegel ddynoliaeth. Mae ei baentiadau yn fydoedd y gallwch fynd iddynt, gyda digon o fanylder i'ch diddanu am oriau. Er ei fod bron yn 500 mlwydd oed, nid yw ei waith yn hen feistri heb gysylltiad â'n hoes ni. Maen nhw'n dal i siarad â ni heddiw: mae ei gymeriadau’n partio, ymladd, fflyrtian, clecian a chusanu, yn erbyn cefndir o gythrwfl gwleidyddol. Bydd y sgwrs hon yn archwilio comedi ac arswyd y meistr arloesol hwn o Iseldiroedd yr 16eg Ganrif. ‘Heb aberthu ysgolheictod, mae Stella Grace Lyons yn defnyddio dull hynod ddifyr o ennyn diddordeb cynulleidfa i rannu ei brwdfrydedd dros hanes celf, gan dynnu straeon a phrofiadau dynol tri dimensiwn o’r cynfas dau ddimensiwn’ - Maev Kennedy, Gohebydd Celfyddydau The Guardian Ar ôl y sgwrs, mae croeso mawr i chi aros i gael te a theisen gartref flasus, wedi'u gweini yn Oriel hardd y Pafiliwn.
