Tate St ives: Peter Lanyon Exhibition






Today i went to the Tate St Ives to see the peter lanyon exhibition which also involved a talk and tour of the work, I really enjoyed the exhibition though some of the pieces werent to my taste.
The work was displayed in chronilogical order so the veiwer could see how the work had developed through the artists life, it was amazing to see the work at the beginning and then compare it to the work at the end only 12 years later. it was clear to see where his inspiration had come from and also what art movements had influenced his work too. I want to research abstract art more and have brought two books from the Tate, " Futurism By Silvia Martin" and "Absract expressionism by Debora Bricker Balken"
