{ What's on this week }

AUSTIN OSMAN SPARE IN SOUTHWARK
Tuesday 17 March
6.30pm-7.30pm  at John Harvard Library, 211 Borough High
Street; free
Austin Osman Spare was an eccentric artist who, despite
earlier promise of artistic stardom, eked out a sometimes
precarious living in Southwark in his later years and died
in relative obscurity and poverty. Recent fine biographies
have been published by experts on Spare in recent years but,
to keep his memory alive in the borough, heritage manager
Judy Aitken revisits his story with this Illustrated talk.
