SPIRIT OF PLACE: ARTISTS WRITERS / BRITISH LANDSCAPE

A panoramic view of the British landscape as seen through the eyes of writers and artists, from Bede and the Gawain-poet to Gainsborough, Austen, W. G. Sebald and Barbara Hepworth. With each new generation, the British landscape has been reframed, reimagined and reshaped by distinctive voices and evocative imagery. Each account or work of art, whether illuminated in a manuscript, jotted down in a journal or constructed from sticks and stones, holds up a mirror to its maker and their world.
