“Picturing War across Town and Country: John Piper and Graham Sutherland”

We will explore these artists’ paintings from World War II when they set out to record the home front.

John Piper (1903–1992): Coventry Cathedral [1940; Manchester Art Gallery] c/o ArtUk – just click on link for a fascinating essay by Lynda Nead.

Graham Vivian Sutherland (1903–1980): Cornish Tin Mine, Emerging Miner [1943; Leeds Art Gallery; c/o ArtUk]

Mayor Kevin Robinson of Southend City has chosen the brilliant St Vincents Centre – a busy community hub in Southend which runs vital services and programmes to support vulnerable people in the local community – as his main charity this year.
