For several decades after 1945, artists working in Cornwall responded with striking originality to the moving spectacle of sea, land, light and seasonal weather. Keyed to particular coastal places as well as to the wider currents of modern art, their paintings and sculptures are widely regarded as marking a high-point in British modern art. The majority of works in the display are from the recent George Dannatt Gift to Southampton City Art Gallery.
Both exhibitions are now open and run until 20 November.

Jennie Spiers is going to trace the rise of the art of landscape painting from Minoan Fresco paintings through to Medieval, Renaissance, Classical, and on to the 20th and 21st Centuries.
Concentrating on Western art, she will cover the different ways that artists throughout different eras, styles and movements have used landscape to inform our understanding of the context of their paintings and to enhance our enjoyment and appreciation of nature.
There will also be a tour of the landscape paintings on show in the gallery, which range in time from the 17th century to the 21st century and discussing them in the context of their times - 17th to present day.
