Surrealism Returns art exhibition 27/09/08 - 23/11/08

Saturday 27th September – Sunday 23rd November 2008
Cheltenham Art Gallery & Museum

Significant Surrealist works of art return to Gloucestershire at Cheltenham Art Gallery & Museum to celebrate a momentous chapter in the history of Surrealism. Drawn from collections all over Britain, visitors can enjoy seeing pictures and sculptures by key artists of the movement including Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, Roland Penrose, Henry Moore, Paul Nash, Man Ray, Edward Burra and Yves Tanguy.
Surrealism Returns is inspired by an exhibition of 70 years ago, Realism and Surrealism: Several Phases in Contemporary Art, which was shown at the Guildhall, Gloucester in 1938 and rediscovered by the art historian, Dr Lee Beard, formerly of the Courtauld Institute of Art, with whom Cheltenham Art Gallery & Museum is co-curating Surrealism Returns.Original archival material complements the artworks and contributes to showing the impact of Surrealism in terms of subversive art and political drive and reveals how the 1938 exhibition was a collaboration between London-based galleries, dealers and collectors, such as Roland Penrose, and a local Exhibition Committee including Sir William Rothenstein, artist and ex-Principal of the Royal College of Art, and Cheltenham-raised art collector Hugh Willoughby.
Recent research reveals that by 1938, Willoughby had built up a significant collection of Picassos, which had been exhibited at Tate and Cheltenham Art Gallery & Museum three times between 1934 and 1937. They included Picasso’s Weeping Woman drawing of 1937, now at Tate, from where it is being loaned for Surrealism Returns. Also returning for this show are Joan Miró’s The Head of a Catalan Peasant, Roland Penrose’s The Last Voyage of Captain Cook (both loaned by Tate), Man Ray’s Torso and Belle Main and three works by Henry Moore.
A full education and event programme supports this exhibition and an accompanying catalogue, with essays by art historians and including new research, has been written by co-curator Dr Lee Beard.
Surrealism Returns and its accompanying programme of talks and education work are supported and sponsored by: The Friends of Cheltenham Art Gallery & Museum; The Henry Moore Foundation; AXA Art Insurance and Stuart Alexander; The Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art; The Elephant Trust; Simon Chorley Art & Antiques, Constantine Ltd.

See the summer in the Corinium Museum’s new Roman Garden

Visitors can come and relax in a setting similar to ancient Italy this summer thanks to a makeover of the Corinium Museum’s Roman Garden.
A whole host of plants and shrubbery has been donated by local garden centre Dobbies to the Cotswold District Council-owned museum in Cirencester, to create a stunning Roman-style centrepiece at the Park Street venue.
Following the Museum’s £6 million refurbishment in 2004 the garden needed a major redesign, and the area has now been replanted to create the impression of a Roman townhouse garden, in the style of the late first and second centuries.

Willersey Shopkeepers say "no" to plastic bags

Willersey resident and Cotswold Conference Centre Sales manager Nick Akerman has been supporting a new scheme in the local village, initiated by retailers Mike & Anita Petruzzelli & Mike & Julie Knowles, who have decided to reduce the impact on the environment by reducing the use of plastic carrier bags, by making Willersey one of the first villages in the Cotswolds to ban the plastic bag.

As some of their customers already use re-usable shopping bags, and from receiving comments about the impact of plastic bags from many other customers, it was decided to look at providing a suitable replacement bag for their regular customers.

“We quickly recognised a problem that we needed to purchase 100’s of re-usable bags and were daunted by the initial cost until Ecover came to the rescue with a gift of 300 Jute bags which is a wonderful start.” Explained Mike Knowles… “Both our shops stock Ecover products so we are delighted such a successful brand have supported this initiative in our community. It seems fitting to launch the scheme to our regular customers on 22nd April which is Earth Day 2008” .

May Half Term Family Friendly Walks in the Cotswolds

Million year old fossils, strange fungi and the secrets of a Cotswold farm are all waiting to be discovered during the May half term break.
The Cotswolds Conservation Board is providing a programme of ten short family strolls across the AONB, which are designed to provide families with the opportunity to get out and about over the school holidays.
“The walks will provide an ideal opportunity for families to find out more about the countryside around them and to enjoy the summer colours in the Cotswolds” said Dave Scott, one of the Cotswolds Conservation Board’s 340 Voluntary Wardens.
The strolls are ideal for younger members of the family and will cover short distances at an easy pace. Each walk focuses on a particular theme, such as wildlife or woodlands, which walks leaders will discuss with the public along the route.
It is all part of a wider walks programme that can be found in the Cotswold Conservation Board’s newspaper, The Cotswold Lion.
