Victor Pasmore’s non-figurative visual vocabulary had an undisputed effect in the world of abstract expression. His works spoke of a universal language that had no geographic boundaries.
His teaching methods and approaches to art had an impact on Maltese artists before he even set foot on the island in 1966.
Pasmore admired Maltese artists, sought their friendship and purchased their works.
Professor Joseph Cassar will tomorrow discuss how Pasmore’s presence in Malta accelerated the adaption of abstract concepts by Maltese artists.
The talk is being held at Victor Pasmore Gallery, Valletta, tomorrow at 6.30pm. Admission is free.
