SUMMARY:Williamson Art Gallery & Museum: Williamson Art Gallery & Museum: P
 hilip Wilson Steer: In Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Born in Birkenhead\, Philip Wilson Steer was a pioneer of impre
 ssionism in Britain during the late nineteenth century. Studying in Paris 
 in the 1880s\, he was exposed to this radical way of painting after seeing
  works by the likes of Degas and Manet. With his loose approach to paintin
 g and depictions of scenes that were seen as indecent for the time\, Steer
  was widely ridiculed on his return to London\, but eventually gained accl
 aim and prestige with the increasing influence of the New English Art Club
  and his teaching post at the Slade School of Art. Later in his career\, S
 teer was inspired by masters of English landscape painting\, such as Const
 able and Turner\, with examples of these works being found in the exhibiti
 on.\n\nAs well as showcasing the Williamson’s collection of Steer\, this
  exhibition will bring his work into conversation with both his contempora
 ries and local artists who followed in his footsteps. This will showcase h
 is personal approach to colour and painting\, but will also show the limit
 ations of his radicalism\, largely through his approach to depicting women
 .\n\nThe Williamson’s collection of works by Steer has long been conside
 red a highlight of our collections\, which we are delighted to be able to 
 display a significant number of in this exhibition.
