Looking on the Bright Side of Bideford.

Always a pleasure to visit the Burton Art Gallery & Museum and yesterday we checked out the ‘Into Abstraction: Modern British Art and the Landscape’ exhibition with works by a host of well-known 20th century artists including Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore, L.S. Lowry, Patrick Heron and Elisabeth Frink.

A fusion of vibrant and sombre modern art and landscapes including a change of location for the famous ‘Matchstick People’, Glasgow, not Salford, Manchester was the focus of the painting by L.S. Lowry.

The Summer might be over but the Summer Exhibition is running until the 14^th September so if you love art and the history do check it out.

About: ‘Into Abstraction: Modern British Art and the Landscape’ examines the intersection of abstraction and landscape in British art from the 1920s to the early 1970s. Organised in collaboration with The Hepworth Wakefield, ‘Into Abstraction’ draws on their extensive holdings of modern art to explore how artists used abstraction during periods of social upheaval to engage with the natural world and human experience.
