Join us for a series of lunchtime talks in association with our current exhibitions Frances Hodgkins: European Journeys, 19 Gallery, and Imogen Taylor and Sue Hillery: Double Portrait. These consider the life and work of Frances Hodgkins, with lectures from distinguished art historians Pamela Gerrish Nunn, Rebecca Rice and Elizabeth Eastmond.

For our final lunchtime talk Waiheke-based art historian Elizabeth Eastmond addresses one of Hodgkins' last paintings produced during WWII, prior to her death in Dorchester in 1947. Eastmond taught art history for many years at the University of Auckland, where amongst other courses she co-founded (with Cheryll Sotheran) "Women in Art", the first paper in New Zealand to bring a feminist perspective to the discipline of art history.
