SUMMARY:Williamson Art Gallery & Museum: Williamson Art Gallery & Museum: F
 rom Birkenhead to Anglesey: An artist rediscovered
DESCRIPTION:Williamson Art Gallery &amp\; Museum\nFrom Birkenhead to Angles
 ey: An artist rediscovered. Curated by Charles Nugent\nFor the first time
 \, this exhibition brings together George Cockram’s paintings from acros
 s his career. By the early 1890s\, Cockram (1861-1950) was a successful ar
 tist with an established reputation. He regularly commanded three figure s
 ums for his works – substantial amounts for the period. Presented chrono
 logically\, this exhibition recognises Cockram’s accomplishments and beg
 ins to redress his recent obscurity.\nBorn at 51 Thomas Street close to th
 e centre of Birkenhead\, Cockram studied at the Liverpool School of Art un
 der John Finnie between 1876 and 1884. He regularly exhibited at the Royal
  Academy in London\, at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool and at the Roy
 al Cambrian Academy in Conwy\, as well as in exhibitions in Manchester\, B
 irmingham\, Glasgow\, and as far afield as New Zealand. His works are in a
  number of public collections throughout Britain including here at the Wil
 liamson\, Walker Art Gallery\, Ferens Art Gallery\, Tate and Oriel Môn.\n
 Much of what is known about Cockram is taken from newspaper articles and r
 eviews\, letters and receipts for paintings. These are brought vividly to 
 life in this exhibition and illustrated book by Charles Nugent\, which is 
 on sale in the gallery for £15. Several of the paintings have been sold a
 nd withdrawn from the exhibition\, though they are all illustrated in the 
 catalogue with detailed entries\; the numbering has been retained to match
  the published catalogue. All the numbered paintings are for sale.\nWe are
  grateful to Charles Nugent for amassing and preserving this incredible co
 llection. In galleries 4 and 5 until 26th February 2022.
