DRAMATIC ENCOUNTERS / PEOPLE CHANGING SHAPE 2 - BEFORE OVID AND SINCE

The story of an unforgettable meeting is always a gift for artists and writers alike. This well-illustrated weekly series will bring us face to face with paintings, poetry and fiction in which fame, beauty, myth, history and the human spirit bring people together in such dramatic circumstances that they, and we, are left thinking that never before have we seen, or read, anything quite like it.


From Circe turning Ulysses’s men into swine to Kafka’s Gregor waking up as a beetle, shape-shifting has variously caught the eye of the elder Jan Brueghel, Tenniel, Waterhouse, Anna Lea Merritt, Arthur Hughes and Henri Rousseau alongside Apuleius, Keats, Carroll, Stevenson, T H White and Virginia Woolf.
