Curator Sarah Lea uncovers the imaginary worlds of Victor Hugo in these rarely-seen works on paper.
Lea will take us through some of Victor Hugo’s finest works on paper; works which inspired a generation of Romantic, Symbolist and Surrealist artists and poets, including Vincent van Gogh.
Sarah Lea is an art historian and curator at the Royal Academy of Arts. She has curated major exhibitions including Francis Bacon: Man and Beast (2022), Making Modernism: Paula Modersohn-Becker, Käthe Kollwitz, Gabriele Münter and Marianne Werefkin (2022-23) and Entangled Pasts, 1768 – now: Art, Colonialism and Change (2024).
The event will be accompanied by speech-to-text transcription courtesy of Stagetext.
