I have 3 small paintings of the Isle of Purbeck in this exhibition. It has a wonderful mix of works from the great British painters of the 20th century alongside some contemporary responses to Purbeck. I highly recommend a look if you are in the area.
12th October 24 - 16th March 25
Discover the beautiful artistic heritage of Purbeck during a transformative time. Delve into the works of well-known artists who were inspired to capture the stunning landscape and coastline of this picturesque region. This exhibition will highlight the profound impact the Purbeck landscape had on artists, from the first half of the 20th Century through to the present day. It will also demonstrate the evolution of the region through time, from its natural beauty to its industrial heritage.
This groundbreaking exhibition is co-curated by Dr. Gill Clarke MBE (co-author of Shorelines: Artists on the South Coast) and the Russell-Cotes. It will showcase a rich collection of artworks from the museum’s permanent holdings, alongside significant loans from private and regional collections. These include Southampton City Art Gallery and Pallant House Gallery.
