by Cicely Hey

Three reminiscent talks by different speakers on Sickert's personality and working methods

When Cicely Hey first met Sickert in the early 1920s she was a young artist who had just left Art School. At that time Sickert was at the end of his so-called 'Iron Bedstead' period - she was the last model to be posed on that iron bedstead that had been seen in so many of his paintings since he returned from Venice in 1905.

(Last talk: Father Figures, by Clifford Ellis: November 19)

Read by JACK MACGPOWRAN and DENYS HAWTHORNE
Introduced by DR. JOHN FLETCHER Lecturer in French
University of East Anglia
Samuel Beckett , who celebrated his sixtieth birthday last April is not only as outstanding play wright and novelist but has also published verse of great interest and importance. Because it is per haps more personal than Beckett's other writings his verse is more difficult of access for the ordinary reader. Dr. John Fletcher provides a commentary on the readings which should help listeners to appreciate Beckett's work as a poet.
