This stunning exhibition presents a group of contemporary British artists who retain a fierce dedication to traditional, figurative painting, something very unusual in today’s art world. Portraits, interior scenes, and landscapes created with bravura brushwork and rich, sumptuous colors by such artists as Tom Coates, Jane Corsellis, Ken Howard, Sir Thomas Munnings, John Ward, and Peter Worth are featured, along with several examples of historical work.
The New English Art Club, little known in this country, was originally established over 120 years ago by John Singer Sargent and others who were influenced by radical ideas coming out of France—notably Naturalism and Impressionism. Rejected by the Royal Academy, these artists staged the most daring exhibitions of the late nineteenth century. The Club continues to be a vital part of the British art scene today.
