PAINTING THE MODERN GARDEN: MONET TO MATISSE
Claude Monet was an avid horticulturist and arguably the most important painter of gardens in the history of art, but he was not alone. Great artists like Van Gogh, Bonnard, Sorolla, Sargent, Pissarro and Matisse all saw the garden as a powerful subject for their art. These great artists, along with many other famous names, featured in a recent innovative and extensive exhibition at The Royal Academy of Arts, has now been filmed for the enjoyment of people outside London. Screened in collaboration with Wharfedale Gardeners Group, in celebration of their 70th anniversary.
STEVE HOWE For nearly 35 years, Steve Howe has been at the forefront of guitar playing in popular music as a lynchpin of multimillion selling prog rock icons Yes and supergroup Asia, amongst many other roles. Actually, simply referring to Howe as just a guitarist is limiting. In addition to being a songwriter, he plays more instruments than just the guitar. If it has strings and a fretboard, Howe has mastered it and recorded with it at some point on one of countless albums he’s been a part of. Howe played an integral role in shaping the sound of Yes and Asia, and has also enjoyed a long and profilic career as a solo artist with more than a dozen studio albums to his credit. The new addition to this amazing back catalogue is Homebrew 6 which as always is as critically acclaimed as the rest of Howes’ illustrious recording history.
