The next exhibition at the Laing Art Gallery as part of the Great British Art Debate will be the first major exhibition of the paintings by 19th century artist John Martin for more than 30 years. His spectacular, apocalyptic works will be displayed at the Laing, capturing the drama and impact which they had when they were originally displayed.
The first half of the 20th Century witnessed some of the most destructive and yet creative decades in Europe’s history. These were momentous, brutal, but inspiring times for artists as an entire generation responded to the electric pace of change.
