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:Russian Grand Tourists in 18th Century Europe
DESCRIPTION:From the middle of the Eighteenth Century\, the Russian nobility began to travel for pleasure and education in Western Europe.  Although the experiences of these ‘Grand Tourists’ were similar in some ways to those of their English counterparts\, Russian factors presented special obstacles and incentives. \nIn this talk\, we will meet a number of notable Russian Grand Tourists\, learn the story behind their trips\, and look at some of their remarkable ‘souvenirs’ that despite Napoleon\, the Revolution of 1917 and World War 2 are still visible in Russia today. \nIn addition\, there will be a short digression about The Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow\, which is holding an exhibition featuring a number of works from Gainsborough’s House later this year. \n£12 Coffee and Pastries included \nTo book please contact Gainsborough’s House on T: 01787 372958 or mail@gainsborough.org \n

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:Lithography with Colin Gale
DESCRIPTION:Lithography is often thought of as the closest printmaking technique to painting and drawing because of its direct mark-making.

Colin directs the Artichoke Print Workshop\, London’s leading open-access Fine Art printmaking facility. Widely respected\, Colin’s expertise is evident in The Printmakers’ Bible\, co-written with Megan Fishpool. He exhibits widely and lectures in several London colleges. \n£265+VAT- £318\n(PWS members £248+VAT=£298*) \n*for Print Workshop membership details\, please ring 01787 372958
