Dr Mark Banting in conversation with Alan Waltham discussing the story of the East London Group since publication of "From Bow to Biennale".

Beecroft Art Gallery

East London Group

I will be running various  events at the Beecroft Gallery in Southend on 10th, 11th & 12th March including 3 guided tours plus an "In Conversation" event. You can find details & tickets for all events here.

Join Alan Waltham, curator of “Brothers in Art: Walter and Harold Steggles” currently on show at the Beecroft Gallery to discuss the East London Group.

The rediscovery of the East London Group, triggered by a surprise inheritance and the 2012 publication of David Buckman’s “From Bow to Biennale”, has garnered a revitalised appreciation of these working class artists’ paintings, many of which hadn’t been seen since the 1930s. 

This afternoon, curator Alan Waltham discusses this renewed recognition of the East London Group, his personal link to the Steggles Brothers and, by way of some of the most iconic of their paintings, the origins and history of the Group. 

Alan will be in conversation with Dr ML Banting, independent researcher in the field of early 20th-century British art. 

All welcome! 

“Brothers in Art: Walter and Harold Steggles” runs at the Beecroft Gallery until 3rd April, 2022
