Join us at Penarth Pavilion this November, for what is sure to be another captivating talk by acclaimed art history lecturer, Stella Grace Lyons.

Did you know that when Charles Rennie Mackintosh died, his entire estate was valued at just £88?

Glaswegian-born Mackintosh, a designer, architect, and artist, was the foremost Celtic exponent of Art Nouveau and had a considerable influence on European art. But he is an even more enigmatic figure today than when he was alive.

Both Mackintosh’s and his wife Margaret Macdonald’s work has a distinctive character, one that captures the transition between the Victorian era and the Modern age.

This talk will consider both Charles and Margaret’s life, work, and legacy.

Following the talk, please stay for tea and some delicious cake, served in our beautiful Gallery.

Ymunwch â ni ym Mhafiliwn Penarth y mis Tachweddd hwn am yr hyn sy'n sicr o fod yn sgwrs afaelgar arall gan y darlithydd hanes celf o fri, Stella Grace Lyons.

Oeddech chi'n gwybod bod ystâd gyfan Charles Rennie Mackintosh, ar adeg ei farwolaeth, yn werth dim ond £88?

Mackintosh, dylunydd, pensaer ac arlunydd o Glasgow, oedd y dehonglwr Celtaidd mwyaf blaenllaw o Art Nouveau ac fe gafodd gryn ddylanwad ar gelf Ewropeaidd. Ond mae'n ffigur mwy enigmatig hyd yn oed heddiw na phan oedd yn fyw.

Mae gan waith Mackintosh a'i wraig Margaret Macdonald gymeriad unigryw, un sy'n cyfleu'r newid rhwng oes Fictoria a'r oes Fodern.

Bydd y sgwrs hon yn ystyried bywyd, gwaith ac etifeddiaeth Charles a Margaret.

Yn dilyn y ddarlith, arhoswch i gael te a theisen gartref flasus yn ein Horiel hardd.
