British Landscape Tradition

Thelma Hulbert Gallery

Art History talk series with art historian, John Francis

This wide ranging survey starts in 1749 with Mr and Mrs Andrews. Portrait artists like Gainsborough were beginning to gaze out towards the countryside. Turner and Constable could be said to portray our national identity through images of peace and plenty while sometimes ignoring unrest and poverty. Later in the 1950’s and 60’s, Joan Eardley and Sheila Fell chose to explore the landscape of Scotland and Cumberland. Eardley painted touching portraits of children on the poor streets of Glasgow. Fell was obsessed with the often bleak landscape of Cumberland. Photography was an important documenter of modern landscape, so we will enjoy the work of renowned photographer Bert Hardy. Finally, Andy Goldsworthy and Richard Long chose to move from the studio and use the physical material of the landscape itself.
