True to Life: British Realist Paining in the 1920s and 30s - Descriptive Tour and Workshop

Descriptive tour and workshop consisting of a 90 minute tour in the morning,
followed by a lunch break and a 2.5 hour practical workshop in the
afternoon. Guides, chairs and refreshments will be provided. Please bring a
packed lunch.

Free but booking essential.

The first ever survey of this fascinating subject, the exhibition will show
the breadth and depth of the art of the period, bringing together paintings
by a generation of hugely talented artists whom art history has tended to
sideline, as the figurative tradition they represent has been overshadowed
by the more dominant abstraction of Modernism.

In the last decade artists such as Gerald Leslie Brockhurst, Meredith
Frampton, Harold Harvey, Bernard Fleetwood Walker and Dod Procter have
re-emerged from the shadows, and their extraordinary work is ripe for
rediscovery.
