Sussex Modernism: Retreat & Rebellion

Catalogue published to accompany the exhibition at Two Temple Place, London 28 January – 23 Apr

Sussex played host to a remarkable range of British and international artists and writers in the early 20th century. But far from inspiring tranquility, the rolling hills and quaint resorts provoked rebellious ways of living and ground-breaking artistic innovation.

From Salvador Dali to Vanessa Bell, Eric Gill to Henry Moore, Sussex Modernism: Retreat & Rebellion uncovers unexpected connections across modernist communities as it brings together works from celebrated Sussex museums and galleries in the spectacular surrounding of Two Temple Place
