Audio Description: Sickert and photography

17 October 2016 at 12.00–13.30

Walter Richard Sickert, Variation on Peggy 1934–5. Tate.

Have paintings brought to life through this fully accessible audio described tour for blind and partially sighted visitors

On this audio described tour learn how Walter Sickert used photography as a source for his paintings and how he explored and exaggerated the abstract qualities of photos, producing heightened interpretations, rather than reproductions of the images from which he took inspiration. 

This tour is led by Anna Murray and takes place seated in the display. Sighted companions and guide dogs are welcome. 

No booking required.

If you have any other access needs that you would like to let us know about please contact: Anna Murray, Assistant Curator: Access anna.murray@tate.org.uk or call +44 (0)20 7887 8888
