For Real
Britse realistische schilderkunst uit de jaren '20 en '30'For Real' toont met van 35 kunstenaars het beste, meest fascinerende en onverwachte van de Britse figuratieve kunst uit de jaren ‘20 en ’30. Lange tijd nam men aan dat de Britse figuratieve kunst uit die jaren immuun was voor internationale invloeden. Voortbouwend op inheemse tradities, zou die vooral conventioneel zijn. Maar klopt deze visie wel? For Real zaagt aan de poten van de mythe van de ‘splendid isolation’. Met een zorgvuldige selectie van tientallen werken is prachtig te zien dat er sprake is van verwantschap met het internationale neorealisme. En ja, deze kunst is soms ook onmiskenbaar Brits. Elegante stiff-upper-lip portretten, naïeve working-class taferelen, roerloze landschappen en stadsgezichten, vervreemdende stillevens maar ook expressieve, intense werken. Dit brede en zeer diverse spectrum schetst een nieuw beeld van de artistieke ontwikkelingen in de Britse kunst gedurende de roaring twenties en dirty thirties. Maak kennis met vergeten society grootheden zoals Meredith Frampton en Gerald Leslie Brockhurst of war painter Christopher Nevinson en odd one out Stanley Spencer. Ook blijken er opvallend veel vrouwelijke kunstenaars op hoog niveau actief te zijn geweest, onder wie Dod Procter, Hilda Carline, Winifred Knights en de zusters Zinkeisen.

British Surrealism
- Features work by: Eileen Agar, Edward Burra, Cecil Collins, Paul Nash, Henry Moore, Graham Sutherland, Francis Bacon, Leonora Carrington, Lucian Freud and Paule Vézelay - Delving back to the artists and writers who were the 'Ancestors of Surrealism', the influence of Lewis Carroll, William Blake, Henry Fuseli and William Shakespeare is explored - Essays by David Boyd Haycock, Kirstie Meehan and Sacha Llewellyn - Produced in conjunction with Dulwich Picture Gallery's British Surrealism exhibition in 2020 Surrealism was one of the most influential avant-garde movements of the 20th century. 'Discovered' in 1920 by the French poet André Breton, it emerged from the horrifying irrationality of the First World War, the revolutionary nonsense of Dadaist art and the penetrating theories of Freudian psychoanalysis. It explored the illogical, the dreamlike, the marvelous; it intended to liberate the imagination, free the mind and change the world. With its unique history of outlandish creativity and its soft spot for the absurd, Britain was a perfect breeding ground for the surreal. Produced in conjunction with Dulwich Picture Gallery's British Surrealism exhibition in 2020, this publication features works by Eileen Agar, Edward Burra, Cecil Collins, Paul Nash, Henry Moore, Graham Sutherland, Francis Bacon, Leonora Carrington, Lucian Freud and Paule Vézelay. Delving back to the artists and writers who were the 'Ancestors of Surrealism', the influence of Lewis Carroll, William Blake, Henry Fuseli and William Shakespeare is explored. This beautifully produced publication will surprise the reader with it's unique, imaginative take on what an exhibition catalog can be, including interactive pages interspersed amongst essays by David Boyd Haycock, Kirstie Meehan and Sacha Llewellyn.
