In the first half of the 20th century Hampstead was home to some of the era’s most pioneering artists. We will walk in the footsteps of the Slade School artists such as Mark Gertler, Stanley Spencer and R.W. Nevinson who socialised in Downshire Hill with the artistic Carline family and discuss the role that Roland Penrose and Fred and Diana Uhlman played in the art world. We will conclude with Modernists such as Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth who lived and worked in Belsize Park and the designers (many refugees) who stayed at the Isokon flats.

This walk is from Burgh House ( 5 minutes from Hampstead Tube) to near Belsize Park

Depending on the weather we shall also walk briefly on the Heath so dress suitably.
