SUMMARY:Kirkby Gallery: Kirkby Gallery: Approaching Thunder: 1940s British 
 Prints and Drawings from The Hepworth Wakefield
DESCRIPTION:Approaching Thunder:\n1940s British Prints and Drawings from Th
 e Hepworth Wakefield\n29 January – 7 April 2018 (extended to 28th April)
 \n\nKirkby Gallery is delighted to present Approaching Thunder\, as the fi
 rst gallery on its national tour.\n\nThis exhibition draws from The Hepwor
 th Wakefield’s outstanding collection of 1940s British works on paper\, 
 revisiting a decade of anxiety\, austerity and idealism that resonates str
 ongly with our lives today. With materials strictly rationed and the art m
 arket in crisis\, leading artists such as John Piper\, Graham Sutherland a
 nd Edward Bawden turned to the inexpensive medium of paper.\n\nAlthough a 
 substantial number of works in the show were produced under the patronage 
 of Kenneth Clark’s War Artists Advisory Committee\, these images are in 
 marked contrast to the idealised state propaganda embodied in the art of N
 azi Germany. Though government-regulated\, the works exhibited here convey
  individual and subjective experience\, exploring ordinary lives under ext
 raordinary shared circumstances. Figures are lost in thought or absorbed i
 n their labours\; intricately described landscapes reveal devastation but 
 also the lingering vitality of the natural world.\n\nPerhaps reflecting th
 is move to a renewed social engagement\, public interest in modern art soa
 red across the country.\n\nA small group of Henry Moore’s shelter drawin
 gs form a particular highlight\, while a selection of illustrated books sh
 ow modernist artists using low-cost lithography to circulate their work ac
 ross a broad social spectrum.\n\nTeacher First Event: Thursday 25 January
