Corsica
II by Alistair Grant
An
exhibition of the very best of our twentieth century landscape paintings as
well as a chance to see the huge Reading Tapestries by John Piper.
The
exhibition includes thirty paintings by some of the best-known British artists
such as Eric Ravilious, Paul Nash, Joan Eardley and David Bomberg. Places
depicted are rural and urban landscapes as far afield as New York and Mexico.
The
artworks are accompanied by an extraordinary set of poems made by nationally
respected poets in response to individual paintings and craft objects by local
makers who each chose a painting as inspiration.
There
will be related workshops, events and study days as part of our January to
March Art in the Dark Months programme.
What
visitors are saying:
‘Love the
concept and presentation; an exhibition to return to and linger over…’
‘Cracking
stuff – as good an exhibition as you are likely to find! Eardley, Weight –
wonderful.’
‘What a
great exhibition – very innovative – good variety and so good to be able to
read work of local poets too. Thank you.’
