Look-club 'In the Land'
Thursday 19 July 2018
Every month we hold meetings of our Look Club, an informal gathering where we discuss a work of art in the Whitworth Gallery. Recently our discussions have covered, the Musgrave Kinley Outsider Art Collection, Howard Hodgkin's Interior at Oakwood Court, the work of Raqib Shaw and Shipwrecks by Cecily Brown.
This exhibition looks back at a period of intense experimentation in British painting and sculpture where artists, having suffered the devastation of the war, turned their attention to the natural environment. Rather than approaching the landscape as scenery, the artists presented here wished to capture the sensation of being within the landscape.
Drawn exclusively from the Whitworth’s collection of modern art, the exhibition features work by Terry Frost, Barbara Hepworth, Roger Hilton, Peter Lanyon, John Milne, Ben Nicholson, John Piper and Bryan Wynter
Discussion will be led by Poppy Bowers Curator (Exhibitions), at the Whitworth.
