Thu, Nov 26 · 2:00 p.m. · Mount Pleasant Library, Toronto (directions, opens in a new tab) · 6 km
Dennis Duffy, Professor Emeritus, Department of English, University of Toronto, discusses the genius of Edward Lear as a painter and poet, the great joiner of oil painting and printed nonsense. Lear was a singular eccentric in his bespoke but loosely-fitting suits and his runcible hat, he created work placing him among the finest of graphic cartoonists and satirists.
