Discover the artworks and story of Britain’s original rebel artist in the largest UK retrospective of Wyndham Lewis’s work to date.
Marking the 60th anniversary of his death and the centenary of his commission as an official war artist in 1917, Wyndham Lewis: Life, Art, War at IWMN comprises more than 160 artworks, books, journals and pamphlets from major public and private, national and international collections.
Spanning the period from the First World War to the nuclear age, Lewis’s career encompassed the most violent and chaotic period in human history. He was a controversial figure whose ideas, opinions and personality inspired, enticed and repelled in equal measure.
There will be time for lunch in the Imperial War Museum North.
In the afternoon we will visit Salford Art Gallery for a tour of What’s in Store? - University of Salford Art Collection with curator Lindsay Taylor. To mark the University of Salford's 50th anniversary, this exhibition launches their art collection to the public. A unique chance to see rarely shown works by artists including L.S. Lowry, Adolphe Valette, Liam Spencer, Cao Fei and Mishka Henner. These highlights are brought together to tell the story of the University of Salford's art collections.
Later we will pay a brief visit to Art Work an expanding hub of arts production right in the city centre where Salford meets Manchester.
