Jean Ryan is an art historian who is interested in creativity in the visual arts, it directs her focus of research into various artists and their practice. She uses this information in her gallery talks to introduce people to the work practice, the imagination, the area of interest, the relevant art theory that relates to the artist in question.

In her talk Jean will explore these ideas as such what is beauty? why is beauty an important focus for artists? how is it expressed visually? and what happens when it is not there? She will see what conclusions can be come to about the emphasis of beauty in western art history.
