Wilhelmina Barns-Graham: Inspirational Journeys This art exhibition explores the work of Wilhelmina Barns-Graham, a prominent member of the St Ives group and one of Britain's most significant 20th century artists. Focusing on one of Britain's most significant twentieth-century artists and her trips to Europe, this exhibition explores the effect these journeys - to Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Lanzarote and the Orkneys - had on Wilhelmina Barns-Graham's practice. The works in this exhibition highlight the importance that new perspectives had on Barns-Graham. Made over a 50 year period, they range from detailed figurative depictions of specific landscapes to bold and colourful abstract paintings. The theme of the show is particularly timely and foregrounds a positive relationship with Europe and the inspiration found through travel and cultural exchange. This exhibition was curated by the Wilhelmina Barns-Graham Trust.
