This one-day online conference, held by Watts Gallery – Artists’ Village will include Watts scholars from Europe and the United States presenting recent and new research on the work of G F Watts. This conference will showcase recent scholarship on Watts’s work around themes such as Watts’s presentation of mythology, historical and Biblical events, and Watts’s use of Symbolism in his work. Moreover, during this conference Watts Gallery – Artists’ Village will launch their new online portal on the work of G F Watts which includes in depth and recent research on 160 of Watts’s works written by Watts’s scholars over the past five years.
