Arts Ahead: So Last Century

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE EXHIBITION So Last Century Laing Art Gallery New Bridge Street Until June 14

The Laing Art Gallery opened at the dawn of the 20th century and since 1904 it has amassed a unique collection which charts the changing face of art over time. A common feature of many the paintings on display in this exhibition is the influence of modern masters working in France, in particular, Matisse and Picasso, an inspiration reflected in the subjects and titles of many of the works. Included in the show are works by William Orpen, Edward Wadsworth and Ben Nicholson, ranging from the abstract to the surreal, these artists represent a journey through a century of art.
