Twentieth Century British Art at the Fine Art Society

Fine Art Society, New Bond Street. The Twentieth Century exhibition of British art. Some outstanding work on display, with the pick of the bunch being Sutherland's later Picton, Ben Nicholson's linocut textile Princess, linocut Abstract with a Red Circle (right), David Jones' Sheep and Birds in the Park, as well as Ravilious and Paul Nash. Of particular interest to me was seeing another version of Edward Bawden's huge linocut Brighton Pier, this version (1957) differs slightly from the one at the Fry Gallery in Saffron Walden (1977), although I don't know if it is of the same series as the one at the V & A. Also impressed by the work on show of John Cecil Stephenson (Funghi, 1933).
