‘Southport – An Artist’s View’
A free lunchtime talk delivered by Stephen Whittle; Principle Manager of Museums & Galleries, The Atkinson.
Ever since Southport developed as a seaside resort it has attracted the attention of artists, from local painters like Edwin Beattie to better known figures like LS Lowry and Lawrence Isherwood. This talk explores the changing face of Southport over the last 200 years as seen through artists’ eyes.
