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.
