SUMMARY:The Master’s Book Club: Prof. Sharon Peacock in conversation wit
 h Prof. Sir Christopher Frayling\, author of 'The Hollywood History of Art
 '
LOCATION:Cambridge University: Churchill College
DESCRIPTION:Join us to hear from Churchill College Fellow and alumnus Prof
 . Sir Christopher Frayling\, writer\, broadcaster and former Rector of the
  Royal College of Art\, in conversation with the Master of Churchill Colle
 ge\, Prof. Sharon Peacock\, as they discuss his latest book ‘The Hollywo
 od History of Art’. Ever since the dawn of the sound era\, Hollywood has
  told the story of the artist\, from Charles Laughton as Rembrandt\, to Sa
 lma Hayek as Frida Kahlo. Dismissed by art historians as unreliable\, even
  fanciful\, these films reveal something else entirely: how art and artist
 s have entered the cultural bloodstream of modern society. In ‘The Holly
 wood History of Art’\, Christopher Frayling traces this fascinating stor
 y in full for the first time\, drawing on years of archive research and in
 terviews with those who made these films. He asks what Hollywood's screenw
 riters assumed audiences already knew about art history\, how they chose w
 hich artists to feature and which stars to cast\, and what impact these la
 rger-than-life portrayals have had on the real art world's exhibitions\, a
 uctions and collections. The talk will be followed by a drinks reception a
 t 7pm. All are welcome to attend. Prof. Sir Christopher Frayling is an awa
 rd-winning broadcaster and writer and Fellow and alumnus of Churchill Coll
 ege. He was Rector of the Royal College of Art (RCA) from 1996 to 2009 and
  a Professor of Cultural History at RCA for over 30 years. He was chairman
  of the Arts Council England\, and is the longest serving trustee of the V
 ictoria and Albert Museum. He was knighted in 2001 for services to art and
  design education.
