Art Quake: Post-Impressionism and British Art

In 1910 the art critic Roger Fry introduced the work of Cézanne, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Matisse and Picasso to an unaware British audience. He coined the term ‘post-impressionism’ for his landmark exhibition on European modern art, which later became known as the ‘Art Quake of 1910’.

In this exhibition drawn entirely from the Gallery’s collection, discover how a host of British artists including Spencer Gore, Duncan Grant, Vanessa Bell and Matthew Smith were inspired to forge ahead with a new approach to painting which had an unparalleled impact on Modern British art.
