Atkinson Grimshaw: Painter of Moonlight
19 September 2011 - 15 January 2012
Over the last forty years, Atkinson Grimshaw's beautiful and
evocative paintings of moonlit suburban lanes, gas lit city
streets and docksides have emerged as some of the most popular
works of the Victorian age. This touring exhibition was the
first major show of Grimshaw's work for over thirty years. It
included more than 60 paintings from his earliest Pre-Raphaelite
inspired landscapes to the Impressionist style seascapes of his
last years. The show also included drawings, manuscripts and
photographs on loan from public and private collections and
descendants of the artist.
The exhibition was on display at the Mercer Art Gallery,
Harrogate 16 April - 4 September 2011.
