Constable in his time with Andrew Graham-Dixon
On Wednesday 28 June, leading art historian, broadcaster and author Andrew Graham-Dixon takes audiences at The Arc, Winchester through the life and works of English Romantic painter, John Constable. The painter, his radical approach, working methods and lasting legacy are examined within the context of Georgian Britain - and the period of enormous change that shaped our cultural landscape. Constable in his time will also explore the story of John Constable as a passionate artist and of forbidden love.
According to Robert Hughes, former art critic of Time magazine and writer of the The Shock of the New, “Andrew Graham-Dixon is the most gifted art critic of his generation.

In 1991, Andrew began his long collaboration with the BBC, in the course of which he has written and presented more than a hundred long- and short-form documentaries about the visual arts.
His first programme, The Billboard Project of 1992, brought such artists as Damien Hirst, Michael Landy and Rachel Whiteread to the attention of television audiences. His second, The Raft of the Medusa, a study of Theodore Gericault’s Romantic masterpiece, was awarded First Prize in the Reportage Section of the Montreal International Film and Television Festival of 1992.
