John Henry Lorimer Birthday Celebration Event: The living spirit of Kellie Castle and the Lorimer Family

Please note the revised arrangements for this in person event at the City Art Centre, 2pm, Thursday 18 August 2022. In the week of John Henry Lorimer's birthday, join Martin Kemp, art  historian and curator of ‘The Lorimers, a Family of the arts in  Fife’ (1983) and Charlotte Lorimer, co-curator of ‘Reflections: The Life  and Light of John Henry Lorimer’ (2021-2022) as they look at what the  restoration of Kellie Castle meant to the Lorimer family. Together, they  will remember the role each family member played and look at the impact  Kellie had on their life and work, focusing on painter John Henry  Lorimer but with reference to artist Hannah im Thurn (née Lorimer),  architect Sir Robert Lorimer and sculptor Hew Lorimer. This will also be  the first public showing of a new portrait by Lorimer acquired after the recent exhibition by the City Art Centre with support from their Friends.
