I hope you will be able to join us on
Saturday 28th February, 11.15am (for about an hour & a half)
at The Beecroft Art Gallery, Southend-on-Sea.
as we continue our research into the ‘long decade’ of 1950s Britain, from the end of World War II to Pop Art.
This month we’ll focus on the Festival of Britain (1951) and the associated “Sixty Paintings for ’51” exhibition, as well as the Coronation (1953) and the “Britain of Tomorrow” exhibition (1956) to look at the diversity of artworks in subject and style during what was a period of radical cultural transition for art and society.
There’ll be plenty to see & discuss as always!

Looking forward to seeing you!
