On Saturday 12th March at 2.15pm there will be a talk by Deborah Hedgecock, Curator, Bruce Castle Museum, Tottenham, London on Love, Life & Death: The Art of Beatrice Offor
Beatrice Offor (1864-1920) was an extraordinary painter of women. Born in Sydenham, she was one of the first women at the Slade School of Art. There she studied with fellow students Annie Horniman, the tea heiress, and Moina Bergson, sister of the philosopher Henri Bergson. Beatrice went on to become, against the odds, one of the most popular – and commercially successful – artists of her day. She is buried in Ladywell Cemetery.
