Britain's What's On Event Guide
Art Inspired by Suffolk Exhibition
Art Inspired by Suffolk’ is an exciting new Exhibition, open to the public at the East Anglian Traditional Art Centre in Wickham Market from Saturday 25th May through to the 8th June (closed Sunday and Monday). It celebrates the 150th Anniversary of the founding of the Ipswich Fine Art Club, which is still thriving today as the Ipswich Art Society.
More than sixty paintings will be on display. The works, which date from 1850 to 1950, are by Suffolk artists who were members of the Ipswich Fine Art Club and include John Duvall, John Moore, George Thomas Rope, Robert Burrows and the Smythe brothers, Edward and Thomas.
A further selection of pictures from various collections will be offered for sale and will be available, with others, throughout the summer.
John Day, of the East Anglian Traditional Art Centre comments, “We will be displaying these marvellous paintings by artists who enjoyed depicting Suffolk people in their towns and in the countryside. The pictures provide an insight into both rural and urban regional history. It is fascinating to contrast the considerable changes seen in some areas whilst others have remained relatively unaltered over the intervening years.”
