In 1933 a group of unemployed artists in their twenties founded a new organisation at a time of economic and political crisis. Four years later the Artists International Association had 900 members and was helping to change the course of British art history.
With works from the Tate collection and making extensive use of recently acquired artists papers, the current Marie-Louise von Motesiczky Archive Gallery display tells the dramatic story of how Britain’s leading artists embraced a cultural popular front, and how their internationalism prefigured a better post-war future.
Join guest curator Andy Friend for 30 minutes of talk and discussion.
