This Thursday (8th February) the De Morgan Foundation are putting on a free talk on the subject of A Technical Investigation into the Materials and Methods of Evelyn De Morgan. The talk at 4 Cromwell Place in London will be given by the conservator Alexandra Earl, a final year student in conservation at the Courtauld Institute.
According to the blurb:
Through close technical examination and art historical analysis of two paintings, ‘Queen Eleanor and the Fair Rosamund’ (1901-02) and ‘In Memoriam’ (1890-1919), Alexandra Earl will illustrate how De Morgan’s practice was influenced by her Pre-Raphaelite contemporaries as well as driven by her artistic training and own idiosyncratic methods. New primary material, coupled with the first in-depth scientific analysis of her paintings and palette, has enabled De Morgan’s oeuvre to be better understood – thus contributing to the expanding recognition of De Morgan as an artist in her own right.
