A dialogue in the field of colour & perception
Sir Howard Hodgkin in conversation with Professor Richard Gregory
Chaired by Professor Lisa Jardine
At the Royal Institution, London
28th June 2001, 6.30pm
What happens when an artist and a scientist approach the same subject from
their different perspectives? The topics of colour and perception are
central to the work of both Sir Howard Hodgkin and Richard Gregory, yet
they have different meanings for each. Will there be common vocabulary in
their discussion of colour and perception? What will be the bridges
between their two perspectives? What can each learn from the other?
The Dennis Rosen Memorial Trust is dedicated to promoting dialogue and
understanding between artists and scientists. This year's annual event at
the Royal Institution offers a direct example of what the Trust aims to
promote.
The speakers:
Sir Howard Hodgkin is one of the country's best known artists known for his
vivid use of colour. Winner of the Turner prize in 1985, Sir Howard has
also been a trustee of the Tate Gallery and the National Gallery.
Professor Richard Gregory is Emeritus Professor of Experimental Psychology
at the University of Bristol. He has specialised in the exploration of
vision and perception throughout his distinguished scientific career.
Chaired by
Professor Lisa Jardine, Professor of history at University College London,
one of the country's best known academic broadcasters and speakers
