Detail from Morisot, 'Summer's Day', about 1879

Part of our series of courses, Luxury and leisure: Philosophical approaches to art history.

---

In the third session, we turn these questions back on to our own relationship to art. Do we think of artworks as luxuries? Do we think of gallery-going as leisure? We will examine some of the reasons why people often want to say ‘no’ and explore what that says about our attitudes towards art and its significance. We will be joined by the designer and entrepreneur Annie Warburton, CEO at the Goldsmiths’ Company, to reflect on the lines between art as passion, profession and pleasure.
