Recording Britain: The Twentieth Century Landscape

20 February - 15 March 2008

At the outbreak of the Second World War, the influential art historian Sir Kenneth Clark initiated an ambitious extension of the Official War Artist scheme, calling it 'Recording Britain'.

Our exhibition is in the spirit of that project. It aims to encapsulate the variety and beauty of Britain as it changed throughout the century, and highlight the renaissance in landscape painting that occurred during the period.

We will include over two hundred watercolours, oils, drawings, etchings, and photographs by some of the great artists of twentieth century, many of whom were involved in Recording Britain.

Monday - Saturday, 10am - 5.30 pm
