AN EXHIBITION OF HER PAINTINGS & DRAWINGS

9 February – 10 March 2018 Together with work by her Cambridge contemporaries including

Cecil Collins Nan Youngman Jean Rose & Jasper Rose

Elisabeth Vellacott An Exhibition of her Paintings & Drawings For this exhibition we have assembled an interesting and wideranging selection of paintings and drawings by Elisabeth Vellacott, including two beautiful paintings, some early examples of what she liked to call her ‘wash paintings’ and an interesting selection of drawings of mountains, sea and rocks, trees and still life.

At the same time we are including work by some of her Cambridge contemporaries. In the mid-1950s a group of like-minded artists in Cambridge realised their work was not sufficiently recognized or exhibited and to remedy this they decided to form the Cambridge Society of Painters and Sculptors. The founder members, as well as Elisabeth Vellacott, included Gwen Raverat, Cecil Collins, Elizabeth Collins, Nan Youngman, John Bolam, Christopher Cornford, Betty Rea and Jean and Jasper Rose. The society’s first exhibition was held in Cambridge in 1955 and subsequent shows for many years provided a lively focus for the visual arts in Cambridge.
