John Piper
John Piper (1903-1992) was a major contributor to the artistic and cultural landscape of twentieth-century Britain. Through landscape paintings and collages, photographs, abstracts, theatre designs and relief constructions, Piper expressed a senstitivity to the physical characteristics and atmosphere of his native land while drawing influence from Paris-based abstract artists including Jean Helion and Alexander Calder. In this, the first major exhibition of John Piper's work since 2003, is presented a selection of works starting with the artist's idyllic images of rural Britain in the late 1920s and 1930s through to the depictions of bombed out churches made during the Second World War as Offical War Artist, as well as his romantic landscape paintings which were a preoccupation after the 1940s.
