Lecture: D.H. Lawrence: Painter
Thursday 2nd September
‘A picture lives with the life you put into it’ – D.H. Lawrence
Lawrence loved painting from an
early age, but nearly all his earlier
paintings were copies. It was not
until the last four years of his life
that he began to produce original
paintings which have a strong
bearing on his writings of the
period, especially Lady Chatterley’s
Lover, ‘Etruscan Places’ and ‘The
Escaped Cock’. He published these
paintings in a splendid edition,
and exhibited them at the Warren
Gallery in London in 1929. Thirteen
were confiscated by the police.
Keith Sagar is a Special Professor
at Nottingham University, and the
author of many books on Lawrence,
including D. H. Lawrence: Painter,
Chaucer Press, 2003.

Eastwood Writers
Every Tuesday 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th September

benefits of meeting regularly to discuss their writing. This friendly group consists of
published and pre-published writers, and others to whom writing is just a satisfying
hobby. The meetings are normally ‘manuscript’ meetings; members take a sample
of their current writing either to read out, or have read, to the other members for
comments, encouragement and constructive criticism. There is also the opportunity
for advice on copyright, agents and publishing.
Time: 1.30pm until 3.30pm
Venue: Durban House Heritage Centre, Eastwood (7th and 28th September)
and Brinsley Parish Hall (usual meeting venue), Cordy Lane, Brinsley (14th and

Lecture: Kangaroo and Nature

playfully explore the tensions between land, gender
and society in this remarkably humorous novel?
Terry Gifford is Visiting Professor at the
University of Chichester, UK, and Profesor
Honorario at the University of Alicante, Spain.
He has published two ecofeminist essays on
Lawrence in Études Lawrenciennes and is
the author of a number of other published

The Breach House
Open Weekend

The Lawrence family moved to
‘The Breach House’, known to
readers of Sons and Lovers as
“The Bottoms”, from Victoria
Street in 1887 and lived here
until 1891. As an end house
with extra space, this move
was a step up the property
ladder, with the Lawrences
paying an extra sixpence a
week rent for the privilege.
Today the top two floors of the property are now a holiday cottage, with the ground
floor and garden kept as a museum and remains much as they did in 1891. Members
of the D.H. Lawrence Society will be on hand throughout the weekend to guide
visitors around this historic property.

For the second year running The Friends of Brinsley Headstocks will be hosting their

One of Lawrence’s uncles, James, was killed
in an accident at the coalface at Brinsley
pit some five years before Lawrence was
born. Later in his life he used the tragedy
as inspiration for the play ‘The Widowing
of Mrs. Holroyd’, and the short story ‘The
Odour of Chrysanthemums’.
Venue: Brinsley Headstocks, Mansfield
Road, Brinsley, Eastwood, Nottingham (on

Thursday 16th, 23rd and 30th September
This short guided walk, as part of Broxtowe’s Walk & Talk programme, will explore the
area around Watnall. In a letter to a friend in 1926 Lawrence wrote:
“But I’ve gone many times down Hucknall Long Lane to Watnall-and I like Watnall
Park-it’s a great Sunday morning walk. Some of my happiest days I’ve spent
haymaking in the fields just opposite the S. side of Greasley church-bottom of
Watnall Hill-adjoining the vicarage”.
Time: 10.30am until 12 noon
Meeting place: Royal Oak, Main Road, Watnall, Notts, NG16 1HS

Lecture: D. H. Lawrence and Kai Gøtzsche
Dr Andrew Harrison, the newly appointed Director of the D.H. Lawrence Research
Centre at the University of Nottingham will explore the importance of D. H.
Lawrence’s close association and friendship with two Danish painters – Knud
Merrild and Kai Guldbransen Gøtzsche – from October 1922 to at least January
1924. In the winter of 1922-3 ‘the Danes’ lived in a cabin next to Lawrence’s Del
Monte Ranch, in New Mexico, sharing work chores and daily life with him and his
wife Frieda. Lawrence was subsequently very supportive of the artists and their
work. Between them, Merrild and Gøtzsche produced the cover designs for two of
Lawrence’s books.
However, while Knud Merrild went on to become an artist of some note, writing a
memoir of their time together with Lawrence, entitled A Poet and Two Painters
(1938), Gøtzsche, who spent more time with Lawrence, and produced one of the
most striking and iconic portraits of him, has faded into obscurity. This lecture will
piece together what little is known of Gøtzsche and his interactions with Lawrence,
drawing on some recently-uncovered material unfamiliar to many Lawrence scholars.
Time: 7.30pm until approx 9pm (Doors open at 7pm)
Venue: Hatters Tea Shop, Durban House Heritage Centre, Mansfield Road,
Eastwood
Admission: Full £3.00, Concessions £2.50 including a complimentary drink
