Wilhelmina Barns-Graham: St Andrews and St Ives
This show is designed to mirror the exhibition ‘Wilhelmina Barns-Graham – a Scottish artist in St Ives’ currently on view at Penlee House in Penzance. It too presents a collection paintings and drawings that explore the significant Scottish influences, both culturally through her training at Edinburgh College of Art and by dividing her time between St Andrews and St Ives. See the main news item for the Penlee House show for more details. Highlights include the extraordinary early portrait of Mrs Rodgers who tended the bar at St Ives renowned Sloop Inn (c1945, a fine watercolour view of St Ives (1943), and rock theme gouache (1953).
