An alert from the Brontë Parsonage Museum:
Fri 15 May, 5:30pm
Brontë Parsonage Museum
Join us to look closely at a series of drawings and prints by British Modernist Edna Clarke Hall (1877-1979), whose obsession with Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights inspired her for decades. Art historian Eliza Goodpasture will bring these works to life in the context of early twentieth-century British art, as well as the artist’s own life. She yearned for the passion she found in Brontë’s novel, which was always missing from her own Victorian marriage. Working with both expressive watercolours and printmaking techniques, she made hundreds of works inspired by Wuthering Heights, some of which are now in the Parsonage’s collection.
Eliza Goodpasture is an art historian and writer. She is currently a Research Fellow at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. She holds a PhD from the University of York.
