SUMMARY:Art History Talk - The Birth of Impressionism and the Art of Modern Life
DESCRIPTION:What did it mean to paint modern life in 19th century Paris? \nIn the wake of political upheaval and radical urban transformation\, a group of young artists began to turn away from history painting and idealised myth. Instead\, they looked at the world around them—capturing fleeting moments in cafés\, on the streets\, at the theatre and in the countryside. \nBaron Haussmann’s dramatic redesign of Paris created sweeping boulevards\, public parks and new vantage points—spaces that became central to the Impressionist gaze. \nInspired by Charles Baudelaire’s call for a painter of modern life\, artists such as Claude Monet\, Edgar Degas and Gustave Caillebotte set out to reflect the pace\, spectacle and anonymity of the modern city. \nThis talk explores the birth of Impressionism and its focus on modern life. \nWhy was this work so controversial? And what exactly made it so modern?\n \nFollowing the talk\, please stay for tea and cake\, served in the Pavilion’s beautiful Gallery.

SUMMARY:Jane Fraser: Weights and Measures (GRIFFIN BOOKS AFTER HOURS)
DESCRIPTION:Step into a world of richly drawn characters\, quiet suspense\, and beautifully observed human drama as author Jane Fraser joins us to discuss her new novel Weights and Measures — an unhurried\, evocative story set in a working-class suburb of Swansea during the early days of the Second World War. \nWeights and Measures follows an outwardly ordinary family whose inner lives brim with fear\, passion\, and hope. Caught in the strange stillness of the ‘phoney war’\, the Froom family move through their days in a state of suspended animation\, clinging to secrets and private longings. But when the true devastation of war finally arrives\, nothing remains untouched. Lives are shattered\, futures are reshaped\, and yet — amid the wreckage — a fragile glimmer of hope begins to emerge. \nJane Fraser is a writer rooted deeply in the landscapes and histories that shape her fiction. Drawing inspiration from the rich cultural tapestry of Swansea and the lives of ordinary people enduring extraordinary times\, she brings a keen observational eye and an intimate emotional depth to her storytelling. Her work explores family\, identity\, and resilience\, capturing the quiet details that illuminate even the darkest chapters of history. \nThis event is part of our new Griffin Books After Hours series of talks\, interviews and discussions\, which will take place in our newly expanded shop. \n***\nThursday 26 March | 7.30 pm\nGriffin Books\, 9-9A Windsor Road\, Penarth\, CF64 1JB*\nTickets: £18.00 including a SIGNED copy of Weights and Measures (RRP: £12.99)** / £8.00 Event Only*** / £5.00 Student Ticket / £5.00 Inclusive Ticket \n*IMPORTANT: Please be aware that the toilet at Griffin Books can only be accessed via three steps and so is not accessible for wheelchair users or people with mobility issues.
