Please join us for our next talk on Tuesday 13 May at 10.45am.

Mad Men and Artists:
How the Advertising Industry exploited Fine Art
with Tony Rawlins

Fine art has provided advertisers and their agencies with a great deal of material to use in their creative campaigns. Lecturer Tony Rawlins describes some of the processes by which these advertisements have been created and why the works of Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael and Michelangelo have been a particularly rich source of material and inspiration. From the Renaissance, through to the present day, fine art continues to provide opportunities to enhance Brand imagery with admiration, humour, satire and irony.

Meeting details

The talk starts promptly at 10:45 am on Tuesday 13 May, 2025 in the Auditorium at the Brighthelm Centre, North Road, Brighton BN1 1YD

Visitors welcome, £10 on the door.
