OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Winifred Knights
Winifred Knights (1899-1947) was a highly individual artist who adopted a distinctive style of modernism. She trained at the Slade under Henry Tonks and in 1920 painted, as a scholarship piece, The Deluge. It has come to be recognised as her masterpiece.
In the 1920s and 30s, Knights produced a range of remarkable and original works in the company of her husband, Stephen Monnington. She died in 1947, aged 47. No newspaper published her obituary.
