Beside the Spanish Seaside Jacqueline Cockburn Tuesday 24 March 2026

Our next jont Study Day is run by TAS Chichester .

Spend  the day travelling along the Spanish Coast, examining the works and legacies of three Spanish artists.  Barcelona grew exponentially in the nineteenth and early twentieth century and Antoni Gaudi’s commissions enhanced this seaside city and left an indelible architectural mark on its streets. The great Pablo Picasso grew up in the Andalucian coastal town of Málaga, once famous for its wines. His own journey by boat first to the windy northern town of La Coruña with its wild coastal beaches and then on to Barcelona will be uncovered during this light-filled Study Day as we look forward to the Summer. Joaquin Sorolla caught the fabulous light of the sea in Valencia, his beloved hometown but he also travelled the length and breadth of Spain exploring its rituals, music, and dance in mountain top towns and near the seaside.
