Dundee-born artist and designer Nell Baxter (later known as Helen Kippen) played a key role in an extraordinary cultural movement at the end of the 19th century known as the Celtic Revival, which sought to reconnect to Scotland’s ancient past through art, literature and music. Dundee played a vital role in this movement, not least as the meeting place of its two central figures, botanist and polymath Patrick Geddes and painter John Duncan. Baxter joined them to work on various projects in Edinburgh before returning to Dundee to become part of a growing decorative arts community in the city. This illustrated talk by university museum curator Matthew Jarron seeks to rediscover Baxter’s forgotten contributions to this important cultural movement, placing her in the wider context of Dundee’s role in the Celtic Revival. It accompanies a new exhibition in the Lamb Gallery marking the 150th anniversary of Baxter’s birth, showcasing never-before-seen designs by her along with work by her Dundee contemporaries including John Duncan, Stewart Carmichael and George Dutch Davidson. The lecture takes place in room T9 (second floor) but you are welcome to meet beforehand in the Lamb Gallery and we will then direct everyone to the venue.
