<p><font size="1">A one-day symposium organised jointly by Tate Britain
and Leighton House Museum to coincide with the exhibitions Exposed:
The Victorian Nude and Public Artist Private Passions: The World
of Edward Linley Sambourne. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">It sets out to question some of the assumptions
about conventional Victorian prudery. It begins with a critical
re-evaluation of the period, and it continues with the sessions
on four men who combined public lives with private obsessions: the
artist and Punch illustrator, Edward Linley Sambourne whose work
included numerous nude photographs, Henry Spencer Ashbee, who compiled
a vast collection of erotic prints the social commentator </font><font size="1">A
L Munby the President of the Royal Academy, Lord Frederic Leighton.
</font></p>
<p><font size="1">Invited speakers include Reena Suleman, Martin Postle,
Caroline Dakers and Sally Alexander. Cost: �20, concessions �15.
The price includes refreshments and entry to the Sambourne and Victorian
Nude exhibitions. <br>

<p><font size="1"> In the often hypocritical society of late Victorian
England, the artist was obliged to tread a careful path between
creative expression and moral indignation. Edward Linley Sambourne
was no exception.</font></p>
<p><font size="1">As a cartoonist with the satirical magazine Punch,
his graphic work was extremely well known; however, at the peak
of his career, Sambourne was spending much of his time on a parallel
and sometimes secret activity - photography.</font></p>
<p><font size="1">The exhibition Public Artist, Private Passions examines
Sambourne's camera work in detail and describes the journey by which
his gathering obsession with photography took him from the public
realm of the political and social cartoon into the intensely private
world of the erotic photograph.</font></p>
<p><font size="1">He had 'discovered' the medium as an aid to drawing,
and by his death in 1910 had amassed a collection of over 50,000
cyanotype images. Sambourne's photography comprises an extraordinary
range of subject matter, from comic studies used for cartoons and
posed by family, friends and servants to classical nudes and erotic
photographs of famous models and actresses.</font></p>
<p><font size="1">The exhibition will include material never previously
exhibited: a variety of props which Sambourne used in his work,
drawings and photographs and an assortment of camera equipment including
the 'secret camera' for his more furtive photographs. A series of
Complimentary events, including study days and a lecture series,
will explore aspects of Sambourne's work, bringing to public attention
for the first time the achievement of this important Victorian artist.<br>

<p><font size="1"> Free entry to all national museums is now a certainty
after the National History Museum agreed to halt its objections
to the plan. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">The culture secretary, Chris Smith, who described
free admission as "a bit of a personal crusade", was exultant. "It
is very good news indeed," he said. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">David Barrie, director of the National Art Collections
Fund, the charity which has led the campaign for free admission,
said: "To have all three flagship South Kensington museums going
free is wonderful news." The Victoria and Albert Museum and the
Science Museum have already decided to abandon their charges. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">The decision was also welcomed by Sir Nicholas Serota,
director of the Tate, where free admission was seen as crucial in
achieving the stunning 5.2m first-year visitors at Tate Modern,
and Neil MacGregor, director of the National Gallery, who resisted
tremendous pressure to introduce charges under the last Tory government.
</font></p>
<p><font size="1">The Natural History Museum was seen as the greatest
single obstacle to free admission to all the national collections.
Its trustees, and director Sir Neil Chalmers, have been implacably
opposed: uniquely among the big museums they saw charging as a positive
factor which made visitors appreciate the experience more. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">Both Roy Clare, the new director of the National
Maritime Museum, and Sir Neil Chalmers entered caveats yesterday.
Mr Clare's statement described admission charges as suspended rather
than scrapped, and warned: "The success of the scheme in the medium
to long term depends upon a fair VAT regime and the maintenance
by central government of satisfactory levels of grant in aid." </font></p>
