Dr Martin O'Kane, author of many books and articles on the links between faith and art, is leading a study session at the Barber in Birmingham on Saturday 14th May 2011. I understand that the uptake is not good so I thought I would mention it to readers of the blog. My motives are, of course, mixed. I want to spread the info about the day and I want the day to go ahead.
The Barber is a small art gallery in the University of Birmingham with a high quality collection from medieval to contemporary art - mainly paintings. Martin O'Kane, whom I have not met or heard but I have a good impression of him from emails, is a scholar who seems to wear his scholarship lightly. He was at Newman in Birmingham and is now at what was Lampeter, University of Wales.
If you want to come on this trip could you let me know and I will ensure the organiser at Newman College has the right numbers.
For those who do not know Birmingham, it has wonderful municipal art galleries especially strong on the PreRaphaelites and Buddist art.
