\n16 January – 5 April<\/p>\n

\"Mountain<\/a><\/p>\n

An early devotee of the Daguerreotype, Ruskin had acquired his own camera by 1849 and made some 40 Swiss subjects before 1858, of which 23 are now in the Ruskin Library. These are being shown alongside drawings, watercolours, letters and diaries complementing each subject.<\/p>\n

\"Painting<\/a><\/p>\n

Alan O’Cain, a graduate of Lancaster University, returns this year to exhibit a selection of paintings that were inspired by his designs for the chilling 2006 RSC production of The Tempest, starring Patrick Stewart. He will be speaking about the paintings at the Conference on Saturday afternoon in the panel ‘Picturing Shakespeare’ In the words of Hay Festival Director Peter Florence Alan’s art is ‘stunning and original, clever and witty …’.” Professor John Carey described the paintings based on The Tempest<\/em> as ‘an absolute revelation’ claiming that ‘It would take umpteen literary seminars to teach so much about the play’ (Sunday Times<\/em>)
