SUMMARY:Julian Perry: The County of Elms
DESCRIPTION:To coincide with our new permanent exhibition Constable at Gainsborough’s House we are delighted to display a solo exhibition by landscape painter Julian Perry. \nThroughout his career\, Julian has observed and recorded the changing face of the British landscape. He is inspired by and responds to environmental issues that impact the natural world. \nThis exhibition displays Julian’s most recent works\, which examine the East Anglian landscape also known as ‘Constable Country’. His complex and highly crafted studies of diseased trees and eroding cliffs depict the ever-changing face of rural Suffolk. Before the devastating effects of Dutch elm disease\, Suffolk had one of the highest number of Elm trees in the country\, and was known affectionately as the ‘County of Elms’. Superficially it may seem that this landscape has changed little since Constable’s time. However\, habitat loss\, species decline and climate changes are having a profound and ongoing impact on the environment. \nJulian explains: “As a child I witnessed the catastrophic death of twenty million English elm trees. For many years the huge dead trees stood as towering witness to what can happen if things go very wrong. For me\, trees are a visual signifier of what can be good or bad about our relationship with the natural world”. \nJulian Perry was born in Worcester 1960. He studied at Berkshire College of Art and Design and at Bristol Polytechnic\, graduating in Fine Art in 1981. He now divides his time between East London and the small Suffolk coastal village of Dunwich. \nJulian has exhibited widely thoroughout his career and has won many prizes including the Arts Council and British Council awards. In 2015 he exhibited in the prestigious Venice Biennale. His works feature in many public and private collections. \n

SUMMARY:C. F. Abel Concert: Polish Discoveries
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special event to celebrate Sonia Wronkowska’s extradinary musical discovery. The evening will begin at Gainsborough’s House with three pre-concert talks and then at The Quaker Meeting House for the first performance outside London of the recently discovered music by eighteenth century composers Abel and Lidel. \n  \nSonia Wronkowska made the discovery of at least 23 unknown viola da gamba sonatas by Carl Frederick Abel (1723-87) from the collection of Count Joachim Carl von Maltzan (1733-1817)\, now at the University of Poznań. Maltzan was Prussian ambassador in London from 1776 to 1782 and seems to have been an amateur viola da gamba player\, one of the circle of pupils and admirers of Abel that also included Thomas Gainsborough. What makes the discovery so exciting is that the new sonatas are mostly mature\, sophisticated and virtuoso works\, composed for Abel himself to play in his celebrated London concerts; those known hitherto are nearly all undemanding teaching pieces. Abel was the greatest viola da gamba player of his day\, and was a supremely elegant and accomplished composer\, to be ranked with his friends John Christian Bach and the young Mozart. \n  \nMark Caudle\, who will lead the concert\, divides his time as a viola da gamba virtuoso between East Anglia and Poland\, and has appeared at Suffolk Villages Festival many times\, most recently at this year’s Festival in Monteverdi’s Coronation of Poppea. \n  \nPre-concert talks 5.30pm\, Gainsborough’s House \nGainsborough and Abel \nMark Bills \nAbel and the Viola da Gamba\nPeter Holman \nAn Exciting Discovery\nSonia Wronkowska \nConcert 7pm\, The Quaker Meeting House\, Sudbury \nMark Caudle\, Viola da Gamba\nTeresa Kamińska\, Cello \n

SUMMARY:French Drawings from the Time of Gainsborough
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition brings together over 40 drawings from public and private collections\, many being on public display for the first time. French Drawings from the Time of Gainsborough covers the period between the Régence (1715 and 1723) and the Revolution (1789–99)\, when French drawing was the undisputed reference point for the quality and the teaching of drawing in Europe. \nCurated by the French eighteenth-century specialist Christoph Vogtherr\, Director of the Hamburger Kunsthalle\, the exhibition features the great artistic personalities of the age such as Françoise Boucher (1703–70)\, Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732–1806) and Jean-Antoine Watteau (1684–1721)\, and through their work explores the function \nand development of drawing in France during the period. \nGainsborough was deeply influenced by French drawing and received training from Hubert-François Gravelot (1699–1773) when he was in London in the 1740s. As Christoph Vogtherr notes in the exhibition catalogue: \n‘Artists in England closely observed the French situation\, often with a fair degree of envy. Important commissions in England\, mainly private\, were given to Italian – and increasingly also French – painters\, and English collectors bought French works. The market for engravings was largely shaped by French engravers until well into the second half of the eighteenth century.’ \nThe selection of works on display\, which include figure studies\, landscapes and genre scenes\, are particularly close to Gainsborough’s own works on paper that are held in our permanent collection. \nThis exhibition is an opportunity to see some of the finest examples of French drawings exhibited for the first time and gives a greater understanding of drawing in the age of Thomas Gainsborough (1727–88). \nImage above: Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725-1805)\, Head of a Girl

SUMMARY:Dale Devereux Barker & Annabel Ridley
DESCRIPTION:Gainsborough’s House Print Workshop welcomes artists and students from all over Britain and Europe to work with expert and enthusiastic tutors. Our professional studio\, one of the best facilities of its kind in the country\, is proud of the quality of its summer programme and we are delighted that Dale Devereux Barker and Annabel Ridley will again be leading courses this year. \nDale Devereux Barker’s work demonstrates his enjoyment and mastery of printmaking techniques.

Working in a positive and spontaneous atmosphere\, course participants achieve a range of lively and well-made results. \n\nAnnabel Ridley’s screen prints\, often on a large scale\, are also valued by both public and individual collectors. Annabel combines processes to produce rich and varied prints\, layering colour and images to create visual depth. The course Annabel leads uses photo stencils in combination with hand cut and drawn methods. Students work with a variety of materials combining text\, images and layered areas to express their own visual concepts. Compatible with digital processes\, the techniques taught can be applied to a variety of surfaces.\nBoth Annabel and Dale are respected in their fields and showing Annabel’s screen prints\nand Dale’s linocuts together demonstrates the flexibility and fascination of printmaking\nskills. Prints are available to order and for more information call 01787 372958. \nImage top: Dale Devereux Barker\, Watching the Tree\, Linocut\nImage above: Annable Riley\, Meadow\, Screenprint

SUMMARY:Face to Face: Portraits from the Andrew Lambirth Collection
DESCRIPTION:The art critic and author Andrew Lambirth bought his first painting as a student at Nottingham University in the late 1970s. Since then he has built up a collection of paintings\, drawings and prints which focuses on the artists he has known and written about. Modern British art is his chief enthusiasm. As he says: ‘I still find it hard to believe that I have on my walls pictures by some of the artists I first read about as a star-struck teenager poring over John Rothenstein’s Modern English Painters.’ \nLambirth’s collection is testament to what can be achieved with a modest budget and assiduous searching. Undoubtedly his connections in the art world have helped. He began his career with a brief spell as a porter at Sotheby’s\, and his acquaintance with a wide range of commercial art galleries must now equal his knowledge of public galleries and museums. He collects by artist but also by theme: one of his chosen themes is trees\, another is self-portraits. \nThis exhibition concentrates on portraits and self-portraits drawn from his collection\, in a variety of media\, from etchings and lithographic prints\, to collage\, oil painting and pencil drawing. The range is wide: from the gentle surrealism of Eileen Agar to the witty Pop art of Allen Jones\, via Maggi Hambling’s ink portrait of her father and Laetitia Yhap’s pregnant nude self-portrait. Artists include Augustus John\, David Jones\, RB Kitaj\, Leon Kossoff\, John Nash and Walter Sickert\, along with a host of lesserknown but intriguing figures. There are both formal pictures made for exhibition\, and others which are quick studies. Here is something for all tastes: fine drawing\, humour\, sonorous colour\, the human condition in all its variety. The only unifying factor is that the collection is one man’s taste. \nImage top: Jeffrey Camp\, Portrait of Laetitia\, Oil on Board\nImage above: Maggi Hambling\, Portrait of my Father\, Ink

SUMMARY:Gainsborough's Drawings
DESCRIPTION:The collection of Thomas Gainsborough drawings at Gainsborough’s House is one of the most comprehensive in the world.

SUMMARY:Artists in their studio: Anne Purkiss
DESCRIPTION:Eighteenth century British artists often chose to work in domestic studios\, known as ‘painting rooms’\, rather than professional artists’ studios. Inspired by this practice\, and of Thomas Gainsborough’s own studio\, this exhibition examines the ‘painting rooms’ of today’s Royal Academicians and what it reveals about the creative process of contemporary artists. \nThis exhibition includes around 30 black and white portraits of contemporary artists\, in their homes and studios taken over a period of more than 25 years. \nAnne describes the process of capturing artists in their studios as being akin to collecting butterflies. \nPortraits include David Nash\, Sir Peter Blake and Cornelia Parker.

SUMMARY:Samuel William Fores
DESCRIPTION:Samuel William Fores (1761-1838) was a printseller and publisher of satire and caricature who flourished from the late eighteenth through to the early nineteenth century\, when revolt in France led to the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. London was the centre of production of singly-issued satirical prints which were disseminated around the globe. It is a period considered a ‘golden age’ of caricature and satire\, where the works of James Gillray\, Thomas Rowlandson and Isaac and George Cruikshank took graphic satire to a new level. At the heart of all these images were the printsellers and publishers who commissioned\, printed and distributed these images of political\, social and personal satire. \nAlthough there are numerous studies of the individual artists\, there has not been a monograph of one of the producers\, yet these were the figures who often pulled the strings and steers the course of satire and determined its content. It was also the printsellers who ran the business\, played to the crowd and patrons\, had their own political agendas and chose which artists to patronise. Of all the printsellers of this period\, Samuel Fores was probably the most prolific and certainly his business has the greatest longevity\, surviving to this day\, adapting to the market for over two hundred years. \nThrough Fores\, we are able to discover not only the mechanics of satire production\, but its impact and use in this seminal period.Seeing from the perspective of the entrepreneur we see a more complete picture of graphic satire in its heyday.

SUMMARY:Karl Friedrich Abel (1723 - 1787) composer & concert impresario
DESCRIPTION:Abel is best remembered as a practitioner and composer of the viola de gamba (a bowed instrument similar to a cello). He was such a talented performer that after his death in 1787 The Morning Post reflected that the viola de gamba would ‘probably die with him.’ Through portraits\, drawings and caricatures this exhibition explores the life and career of Abel and his close relationship with Thomas Gainsborough. \nCentral to the exhibition is the great portrait of Abel painted by Thomas Gainsborough\, on loan from the National Portrait Gallery. Gainsborough was a great friend of Abel and he exchanged paintings and sketches with him\, in return for music and instruments. \n\nAdults: £0\nChildren/Students: £0\nConcessions: £0
