VPAG Book Club

Mixing art and literature, this new group will meet every other month for a tour of the Gallery and a conversation about a book, selected to coincide with the current exhibitions. We are pleased to partner with the Vernon branch of the Okanagan Regional Library for this new endeavor! Please inquire at the Vernon Branch of the Okanagan Regional Library for hardcopy and eBook availability. About the Book: Man with a Blue Scarf: On Sitting for a Portrait by Lucian Freud Martin Gayford Author Martin Gayford is an art-critic-turned-art-subject for renowned 21st century portraitist, Lucian Freud. In this book Gayford engages readers in the 9-month painting process: wearing the same clothes, sitting in the same position, finding the same light, his notes from hundreds of hours of sitting, and his brief dialogues with the artist. This is a story of creative process, the tale of a great artist, and the unabridged process of a modern master at work.
