Comme professeur de français en Angleterre et avec un grand ami en France,le conférencier a fondé en 1990 l’échange homestay de Wolverhampton Grammar
School avec Le Collège Saint Joseph, Savenay, Loire Atlantique.
Vincent vous racontera cela, en vous présentant aussi la région de la Presqu’île Guérandaise,
les chantiers de l’Atlantique de Saint Nazaire, la Côte Sauvage, le Parc régional de Brière, les marais salants et d’autres endroits encore, avec un coup d’œil au présent et à l’avenir possible.
Our programme will continue on
14 May with a talk by
Germaine Jones – Art Nouveau/Déco
Bien que souvent confondus, nous découvrirons que ces deux mouvements artistiques sont pourtant bien distincts. L’un, qualifié exuberant et floral, l’autre, symétrique et géométrique.
Artistes en tout genre les ont représentés : Architectes, sculpteurs, maîtres-verriers, illustrateurs (affiches), bijoutiers, stylistes. Nous replacerons l’Art Nouveau et l’Art Déco dans le temps et l’espace.
