Table

About

Table is an exhibition of original twentieth century paintings on loan from Leeds Museums & Galleries (Leeds Art Gallery) to Ryedale Folk Museum. The exhibition includes works by Samuel Peploe (1871-1935), the well-known Scottish post-impressionist painter and Lubaina Himid (b.1954) who is nominated for this year’s Turner Prize. William Scott (1913-1989) is another of the artists whose work will feature. Scott exhibited with the likes of Patrick Heron, Ben Nicolson, Terry Frost and Victor Patmore during the 1950s as his own reputation as a pioneer of abstractionism grew. Renowned art critic Hilton Kramer believed Scott to be “the best painter of his generation in England.”
