Anne Redpath: Edinburghs New Town Salonniere

Held at the Maltings on Thursday 7th Sept from 10-12noon.
This will cover Redpath’s life and work in some detail, with Maria’s usual colourful and vibrant images carefully selected to illustrate the talk.

Again, this event can only be booked via the Maltings website, at a cost of £6.

Anne Redpath spent half of her life in France where she became a mother and matured her style by observing her surroundings and keeping close contact with her fellow Scottish and French artists. She and her husband returned to Britain after the Great Depression, where they parted company. Life in Hawick was difficult for her and her three sons. Once in Edinburgh, she became a well-known and well-established local artist. She enjoyed life and going out for dinner wearing fabulous hats! Anne was deeply interested in politics and world affairs. She was a fantastic host in her Edinburgh New Town flat, almost like the famous French salonnières: her place became a meeting point for artists and bohemians.

All are welcome and no previous knowledge is assumed.
