Opportunity to view rare works by Degas, Hepworth, Sickert at Browse & Darby’s Annual Exhibition.
Venerable London gallery Browse & Darby opens its doors on 8th May 2008 with its 32nd Annual Exhibition of British and French paintings, drawings and sculptures. The exhibition runs from 8th May until 13th June 2008.
Visitors to the exhibition have a rare chance to view pieces by renowned and celebrated artists from the late 19th and 20th Centuries. A highlight of the show is Edgar Degas’ (1834-1917) Deux Danseuses circa 1895, executed in charcoal and pastel, which is a study for the pastel Danseuses dans les coulisses, and aptly illustrates the artist’s abiding fascination with movement and dance.
A striking bronze, Three Forms (Tokyo), 1967, by Dame Barbara Hepworth (1903-1975) will also be on display. Hepworth is considered to be one of the most significant sculptors of the 20th Century. She began working in bronze in the late 1950s; within the present work she combines her hallmark ‘pierced sculptures’ in Three Forms, a composition she began to use following the birth of her triplets in 1934, as she moved away from abstraction based on the human figure.
The exhibition will also incorporate paintings by the renowned and highly respected English painters Sir William Nicholson (1872-1949) and Walter Richard Sickert (1860-1942).
Both these artists’ distinctive styles and respective innovations have led them to be viewed as two of the greatest influences on 20th Century British Art. Sickert’s significance as an artist is currently being promoted within Tate Britain’s major exhibition, ‘Modern Painters – the Camden Town Group’; the Courtauld Institute also held an exhibition of his Camden Town Nudes earlier this year.
Browse & Darby has grown significantly over the past few years and also regularly exhibits work by esteemed contemporary British figurative artists such as Craigie Aitchison, Dame Elizabeth Blackadder, John Houston, Lucian Freud, Anthony Fry and Euan Uglow. The gallery has recently seen the addition of several exciting new artists, including Endellion Lycett Green, Claudia Carr and Thomas Lamb, and in the coming months, will be showing the works of emerging young artists who trained at the Slade School of Fine Art under Euan Uglow. The gallery acted as Uglow’s dealer during his lifetime; Browse & Darby will be exhibiting work by Uglow’s students, Robert Dukes and Andy Pankhurst, in solo exhibitions in March and November respectively.
