LONDON’S SMALLER ART COLLECTIONS

A gallery-based course which aims to explore London’s lesser-known and often overlooked art collections. One advantage of the smaller collection is that it can often be seen in its entirety and its setting is an integral part of the experience. Students meet at the venue where they’ll be led on a guided visit and encouraged to discuss a range of painting, sculpture, architecture and decorative art.

THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM

Founded in 1917 to document the war, the museum’s moving art collection is a record of Britain’s official War Artists Schemes across two World Wars through to the present day. Curated as a series of temporary displays, artists in the collection include: Percy Wyndham Lewis, Paul Nash, CRW Nevinson, John Singer Sargent, Stanley Spencer, Sir William Orpen, John Piper, Graham Sutherland, Henry Moore, Laura Knight, Stanley Spencer, John Keane and Peter Howson.
