SUMMARY:The Iris Florilegium of Sir Cedric Morris
DESCRIPTION:Winner of the national Finnis Scott Foundation Botanical Art Award\nDr Siân Dawson inspired the idea and coordinated the illustrated catalogue of paintings called Sir Cedric Morris Florilegium. It is a book by leading botanical artists who painted the Florilegium of the unique award-winning irises bred by Sir Cedric Morris (1889–1982)\, artist and gardener who lived at Benton End\, Hadleigh\, Suffolk. Morris propagated the Benton End bearded irises between 1933 and 1960\, now held in the National Plant Collection cultivated by Sarah Cook\, horticultural expert and former head gardener at Sissinghurst\, Kent. \nThe Florilegium comprises 27 botanical watercolour paintings\, meticulously observed and accurately recorded of known cultivated varieties of bearded iris growing today. Many of the artists are Gold Medal winners for Botanical Art from the Royal Horticultural Society. Each artist explains their work in the accompanying caption. The Finnis Scott Foundation Botanical Art Award is the most valuable award of its kind. Dr Dawson was delighted to receive\, on behalf of all the artists\, such a prestigious award. \nThis exhibition is the first time the Sir Cedric Morris Florilegium collection has been displayed in full. It will be available with Revealing Nature: The Art of Cedric Morris and Arthur Lett-Haines at Gainsborough’s House from 6 July – 3 November 2024.

SUMMARY:Revealing Nature: The Art of Cedric Morris and Lett-Haines
DESCRIPTION:  \nThis exhibition is the first to chart the phenomenal artistic careers of Cedric Morris (1889–1982) and Arthur Lett-Haines (1894–1978)\, who were partners in love and art for sixty years.  \nWith over eighty loans from Tate\, the National Portrait Gallery and a wealth of private collections\, the range of their art becomes apparent. Morris is celebrated not only for his flower paintings and still lives but also for portraits and landscapes\, and Lett-Haines is revealed as an important figure in developing Surrealist art in Britain. They famously met on Armistice Night in 1918 and spent the 1920s absorbing European Modernism in France\, Italy and Germany\, meeting a huge range of artists and writers. Their paintings\, drawings and sculptures are highly distinctive and have a unique place in the history of twentieth-century art. \nBased in Suffolk for most of their lives\, primarily at Benton End\, they established the East Anglian School for Painting and Drawing in 1937 which taught a generation of artists including Lucian Freud and Maggi Hambling. \nThe exhibition will be accompanied by a publication\, The Art of Cedric Morris and Lett-Haines featuring essays by Richard Morphet\, Sean Burns\, Emma Boyd and exhibition curator\, Dr Patricia Hardy\, with an interview between Calvin Winner and Maggi Hambling\, priced at £22.50 published by Gainsborough’s House and printed by Blackmore Ltd. \nThe exhibition is sponsored by The Cedric Morris Foundation and Philip Mould & Company. \nThis exhibition tours to Charleston in Firle\, West Sussex\, from 16 November 2024 – 23 February 2025 as ‘Cedric Morris and Arthur Lett-Haines: a radical art school’.

SUMMARY:Hubert-François Gravelot: Designing the Georgian Book
DESCRIPTION:  \nHubert-François Gravelot (1699–1773) was a student of François Boucher and Jean Restout\, invited to London to collaborate on the illustrations of a religious encyclopaedia in 1733. Bringing Rococo taste to England\, Gravelot had a broad practice\, being a draughtsman\, painter\, engraver\, and designer. \nDuring his twelve-year stay in England\, Gravelot joined William Hogarth at St. Martin’s Lane Academy. He collaborated on several designs for Vauxhall Gardens with his former pupil Francis Hayman. Both Gravelot and Hayman were Gainsborough’s masters during his training in London in the early 1740s. \nGravelot’s output has long been overlooked by art historians because he was principally a supplier of designs for commercial enterprises\, especially book illustrations\, often considered a minor genre of art. Yet\, his bravura in creating elegant scenes full of details in the small space of a page made his work famous. Well-known authors of the time such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau\, Voltaire\, or Henry Fielding\, specifically asked for him to illustrate their works to ensure they became best-sellers. Overall\, Gravelot designed the illustrations for more than fifty books both in France and in Britain. \nGainsborough’s House is fortunate to hold one of the largest collections of drawings and prints by Gravelot in the UK\, second only to the British Museum’s collection. The exhibition will present a selection of books and preliminary studies highlighting Gravelot’s talent as an illustrator.

SUMMARY:Philip de László: Master of Elegance
DESCRIPTION:  \nA special exhibition curated by the De Laszlo Archive Trust. \nDe László was already one of the most famous portrait painters in Europe when he decided to settle in England in 1907. His relentless energy\, charisma and pursuit of perfection in his art saw his circle of patronage widen from Budapest\, the city of his birth\, via the princely houses of Europe. London attracted him as a city immersed in a golden age and the work he produced there during the next thirty years was bursting with vitality and virtuosity. The period is brought to life through portraiture and landscapes and features a section on his experiences during the First World War.  \nThe exhibition will feature rarely-seen loans from private collections as well as important works from the Royal Collection\, including a childhood portrait of Queen Elizabeth II when Princess of York.

SUMMARY:In View: Rebecca Salter at Gainsborough's House – David Pike Drawing Gallery
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe first solo museum show in the UK dedicated to the work of the British abstract artist Rebecca Salter\, President of the Royal Academy of Arts\, London\, and by association\, President of Gainsborough’s House. \nHaving formally studied traditional Japanese woodblock printing in Kyoto for six years\, Rebecca Salter\, the first woman President of the Royal Academy\, is renowned as a painter whose work combines Western and Eastern traditions. \nIn the historic building at Gainsborough’s House\, Rebecca Salter couples her ink drawings and watercolours\, as well as one sculpture\, with twelve works from the museum’s collection\, by Gainsborough\, Cedric Morris and Rembrandt\, among others. Each pairing generates fresh insight into the historical work while opening up perspectives on Salter’s own experimental processes.

SUMMARY:James Gillray: Characters in Caricature
DESCRIPTION:James Gillray (1756–1815) was Georgian Britain’s funniest\, most inventive and most celebrated graphic satirist. His work transcends his own time and has continued to influence his successors of the modern age\, from David Low to Martin Rowson. \nTim Clayton\, author of 2022’s definitive biography of James Gillray\, brings the master satirist to life in an astonishing\, colourful and at times salacious exhibition\, James Gillray: Characters in Caricature.\n \nThis lively and daring exhibition examines how Gillray exposed the most notorious scandals of his time by focusing on the artist’s principal characters – household names to which he returned to again and again\, from Emma Hamilton to the Emperor Napoleon.

SUMMARY:Suzanne Cooper: Paintings and Wood Engravings\, 1935–39
DESCRIPTION:Educated at the Grosvenor School of Modern Art\, Cooper achieved early success in the art world. In 1935\, 19-year-old Cooper was exhibiting her work in West End galleries and being singled out by critics as an ‘outstanding’ young artist. \nHer career was interrupted by the outbreak of the Second World War\, followed by marriage and motherhood\, Cooper laid aside her artistic ambitions and was subsequently forgotten. Reminiscent of the work of Cooper’s contemporaries Christopher Wood and Eric Ravilious\, her pieces are charming and surreal\, distinguished by the striking originality of her vision. \nThis exhibition will consist of a varied collection of her print work as well as paintings from 1935–39.

SUMMARY:Maggi Hambling origins
DESCRIPTION:ORIGINS spans six decades of Hambling’s work\, bearing witness to the artist’s deep connection with Suffolk and inviting a meditation on the universal relationships between self and environment\, people and place. \nComprised of around 30 works\, the paintings and drawings in ORIGINS express a combination of exterior reality and interior life. Portrayals of people and places carry a sense of longer time: the unfolding of life\, the workings of memory\, the evolution of love\, and the inescapable proximity of life to death – a theme that recurs throughout Hambling’s art. Suffolk links the artist’s early and present lives – she was born in Sudbury in 1945\, she grew up in Hadleigh and has lived in rural Suffolk since the late 1990s.

SUMMARY:Striking Editions: Lithographs from 1970 – 2000
DESCRIPTION:Colourful lithographs by artists including Dia al-Azzawi\, David Bowie\, Uzo Egonu\, Tracey Emin\, Terry Frost\, Alexis Hunter and Paula Rego. \nStriking Editions celebrates the art of lithography through a diverse body of artists working in the second half of the twentieth century. Both figurative and abstract\, these striking images reflect a vibrant period of experimentation with prints that explore the exciting possibilities of the medium. From the bold allegorical images of Paula Rego to the rich storytelling of Uzo Egonu\, these images brilliantly display the versatility of lithography. \nThe prints on display were all made in collaboration with the master printer Alan Cox (1941–2021)\, who specialised in lithography. Based in East London\, he printed the work of major artists for over forty years. He referred to lithography as the “social art” in which “you always work together”. \n\n\n\nThis exhibition is included with an admission to the House & Galleries. \n\n\n\nThe David Pike Drawings Gallery in the old House

SUMMARY:Gainsborough and the Legacy of Landscape: Masterpieces from Woburn Abbey
DESCRIPTION:Masterpieces on loan from the Woburn Abbey Collection by artists including Thomas Gainsborough\, Claude Lorrain\, Aelbert Cuyp\, David Teniers the Younger\, Sir Edwin Landseer and Richard Parkes Bonington. \n“This exhibition explores the origins of Gainsborough’s landscape art through the examples of Dutch and Flemish seventeenth century paintings in the Woburn Abbey collection collected by the Dukes of Bedford in the eighteenth century. It is aided by the inclusion of comparable drawings in Gainsborough’s hand from the collection of Gainsborough’s House. The exhibition also examines the development of English landscape art after Gainsborough as seen in the Woburn Abbey Collection\, and in particular the inspirational role played by the 6th Duke of Bedford in supporting and encouraging all forms of art through his own patronage in the first half of the nineteenth century. \n\n\n\nThe opportunity to explore these subjects and bring together familiar masterpieces with a new lens\, is made possible by the temporary closure of Woburn Abbey to enable a generational investment in its fabric and infrastructure and the subsequent redisplay of the collections.” \n— Matthew Hirst\nCurator\, Woburn Abbey \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Timothy & Mary Clode Gallery

SUMMARY:Ignatius Sancho: A Portrait
DESCRIPTION:Unknown Artist after Thomas Gainsborough (1727-1788). Ignatius Sancho\, c. 1802-20. Gainsborough’s House and National Portrait Gallery. \nEntrance is included in price of House admission. \nIn 1768 Thomas Gainsborough painted the portrait of Ignatius Sancho (c. 1729-1780)\, who was then valet to the Duke of Montagu. The portrait of Sancho is a rare depiction of a black man in eighteenth-century Europe shown not as an enslaved person\, servant or caricature\, but as a gentleman. After Sancho’s death\, the portrait was engraved and used to illustrate a publication of his letters\, which played a significant role in the abolitionist movement. On display at the centre of this exhibition is a rare copy of the portrait in miniature\, which was jointly acquired by Gainsborough’s House with the National Portrait Gallery in 2019. \nSancho lived a remarkable life. Born to enslaved parents in the West Indies\, he became famous for his correspondence with the author Laurence Sterne and for the grocers that he ran in Westminster. He was the first black man to receive an obituary in the British press.  The temporary exhibition Ignatius Sancho: A Portrait\, aims to shed light on just a few of the interesting and varied aspects of Sancho’s life using his published letters as inspiration. It is supported by loans from the National Portrait Gallery and The Laurence Sterne Trust. \nThe exhibition has been created in partnership with the National Portrait Gallery as part of their transformational Inspiring People project that includes an extensive programme of nationwide activities\, funded by The National Heritage Lottery Fund and Art Fund.

SUMMARY:Painting Flanders: Flemish Art 1880-1914
DESCRIPTION:Suffolk and Flanders are not far apart as the crow flies. There have been connections between them for centuries\, ever since Flemish merchants came to Suffolk to buy the coveted wool of Suffolk sheep for Flemish weavers to turn into high-quality cloth. By Gainsborough’s day\, in both England and Flanders\, new manufacturing processes are already heralding the Industrial Revolution – and the overcrowded towns\, the stink and the noise it brings with it. \nIt’s said that in sixteenth-century Flanders the painter Pieter Bruegel would often make field trips into the Flemish countryside\, dressed as a peasant. Back in his studio he paints his famous peasant scenes\, full of wry observations. A century later\, David Teniers captures that same rural character in his charming pictures of fairs and tavern interiors. And in between those two\, Peter Paul Rubens paints the landscape of Flanders as only he can: lush and lyrical. \nIn eighteenth-century Suffolk\, the countryside is Thomas Gainsborough’s preferred subject too. A little later\, John Constable follows in his footsteps. Compared to the growing forest of smoking factory chimneys\, the countryside offers a reassuring timelessness. \nThe same changes are taking place in Flanders. An enterprising Fleming – a contemporary of Gainsborough and Constable\, called Lieven Bauwens – steals the secrets of spinning technology and smuggles that knowledge back to Ghent\, his home town and a flourishing artistic centre. Ghent becomes the ‘Manchester of the Continent’. By the mid-nineteenth century it’s one of the most heavily industrialized cities in Europe. There is\, of course\, a price to be paid for that technological progress. Poverty and filth\, endemic diseases\, squalid slums. And so Flemish painters do what English artists did before them: they move to the countryside. \nImage © The Phoebus Foundation\, Antwerp \nEmile Claus\nPeasant Girls beside the Leie\, c.1893

SUMMARY:Vivienne Westwood at Gainsborough’s House
DESCRIPTION:  \nTo celebrate the inaugural Sudbury Silk Festival (7 September 2019)\, Gainsborough’s House is proud to display four ensembles by the iconic British fashion designer and activist Vivienne Westwood. Ranging from the last two decades\, they show how Vivienne has repeatedly taken inspiration from historic dress\, particularly that of the eighteenth century. \nVivienne first became known in the 1970s for her avant-garde designs that defined punk culture. In the 1980s she started using traditional tailoring techniques and British fabrics and turned to seventeenth and eighteenth-century art for inspiration. It was also the decade that she met her husband and long-time design partner\, Andreas Kronthaler. In the early 2000s\, Vivienne was appointed Dame of the British Empire and awarded ‘Outstanding Achievement in Fashion’ at the British Fashion Awards. \nVivienne Westwood is one of the last independent global fashion companies in the world. It strives to not only capture the imagination but also to raise awareness of environmental and human rights issues. \nWe are very grateful to Dame Vivienne Westwood for lending these ensembles.

SUMMARY:Nicole Farhi: Heads and Hands
DESCRIPTION:  \nIn 2015 Nicole Farhi\, sculptor and former fashion designer created a bronze bust of Thomas Gainsborough for Gainsborough’s House. Four years later we are delighted to announce a solo exhibition of sculptural portraits of heads and hands by the artist. \nThe exhibition includes busts of some of the great artists of the past 100 years including Lucian Freud (1922-2011)\, Francis Bacon (1909–1992)\, but perhaps most notably\, Sir Eduardo Paolozzi (1924-2005)\, Nicole Farhi’s great friend and mentor. Influential figures from stage and screen are represented through the heads of Sir David Hare\, Tom Stoppard\, Judi Dench and Helena Bonham Carter. \nTalking about the process of creating her work\, Nicole explains that the portrait busts emerge from a sitting in the studio where photographs are taken of the subject. \n‘I then start building an armature and after a few hours sculpting in clay the structure of the face will appear or not … Once I have the structure the true character will follow –sometimes days later\, weeks\, sometimes months.’ \nImportantly the exhibition also includes portraits of hands and\, like the heads that they accompany in this exhibition\, they show character and reflect the life and work of the sitter. They portray the dexterous hands of musicians\, graceful hands of dancers\, the experienced hands of a sculptor and the joyful hands of children. \n‘Hands’\, Nicole says\, ‘can be even more expressive than the face. They can tell you everything about who the person is\, what they are like\, what they do.’ \nA sculptor for nearly thirty-five years Nicole studied with Eduardo Paolozzi and has exhibited widely. Her depiction of artists and cultural figures led to the creation of the bust of Thomas Gainsborough\, which Nicole presented to Gainsborough’s House. \nImage: Nicole in her studio

SUMMARY:Early Gainsborough: 'From the Obscurity of a Country Town'
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition focusses on the early life and art of Thomas Gainsborough (1727-88). It explores how Gainsborough made his first steps in the art world from the inspiration of the landscape surrounding his hometown of Sudbury\, through his training in London in the 1740s\, to his return to Suffolk around 1748. This is a particularly important exhibition for Gainsborough’s House because it deals with Gainsborough’s time in Sudbury\, his family and reveals for the first time new research on this significant period of the burgeoning artist. \nThis exhibition will show paintings from Gainsborough’s House collection\, new acquisitions and loans that give new insight into Gainsborough’s early life and development as an artist. It will draw on a significant collection of the paintings\, prints and ephemera on Gainsborough from the 1740s. \n  \nImage above:\nThomas Gainsborough (1727-88)\nMR & MRS JOHN BROWN AND THEIR\nDAUGHTER\, ANNA MARIA\,\nc. 1754-55\noil on canvas\n© Private Collection Norfolk UK

SUMMARY:Contemporary & Post War British Art Auction
DESCRIPTION:You can bid online today at the-saleroom.com/gainsborough \nLEADING ARTISTS from across Britain are getting behind our £8.5 million project to create a National Centre for Thomas Gainsborough – giving art lovers and collectors a unique opportunity to bid for contemporary and post-war paintings\, prints and sculpture rarely seen in the market place. \nThe Contemporary & Post War British Art Sale will feature around 130 lots donated from over 125 estates and studios that have pledged their support towards Gainsborough’s House. \nThe works represent some of Britain’s greatest and most inspiring artists including Edward Bawden\, Francis Davison\, Anthony Eyton\, Antony Gormley\, Maggi Hambling\, Clive Head\, John Hoyland\, David Inshaw\, Allen Jones\, Sarah Lucas\, Margaret Mellis\, Julian Opie and William Pye. Everyone is welcome to view selected works for free from 14 – 19 October. \nMaggi Hambling CBE\, a Patron of Gainsborough’s House who spear-headed the event along with art critic Andrew Lambirth said: “Since galleries couldn’t exist without artists\, it’s fitting that artists have responded so wholeheartedly to supporting a new National Centre for Thomas Gainsborough\, one of England’s greatest.” \nIn 2016\, we were delighted to learn that the Heritage Lottery Fund had earmarked £4.73 million for the renovation and redisplay of the historic house and the construction of a new\, landmark three-storey structure with four new galleries – a showcase Gainsborough gallery\, a landscape studio with panoramic views over Sudbury\, a community gallery and a major exhibition gallery/performance space. \n \nAs part of a far-reaching fundraising campaign to secure over £3 million in match-funding still needed to safeguard the project\, we hope this prestigious event will help close the gap on our funding targets. \nMark Bills\, Director of Gainsborough’s House\, said: “Here is a unique opportunity to bid for contemporary and post-war paintings\, prints and sculpture rarely seen in the market place and in so doing be part of this exciting and ambitious project.” \nThe Contemporary & Post War British Art Sale takes place at The Assembly Rooms\, Town Hall\, Sudbury CO10 1TL on Friday 20 October from 6.30pm – tickets £25 (including refreshments and catalogue) available from T: 01787 372958 or E: jackieb@gainsborough.org \nYou can bid online from 1 October at the-saleroom.com/gainsborough \nViewing of key works from 14 – 19 October\nFree entry all week and late night opening on Thursday 19 October until 8pm \nImage above: Maggie Hambling\, North Sea Rolling\, 2015-17\, oil on canvas\n \n
