A Brush with the Past
A new exhibition at Wimbledon Museum
Wimbledon Museum and Common Works Gallery present a new collaboration exploring Wimbledon Common through artists past and present.
Ten contemporary artists have each drawn inspiration from works of art in the museum’s collection, reinterpreting the perspectives of intriguing figures such as Belgian refugee and anarchist Aloïs de Laet, suffragette Hilda Bather, and renowned stained glass designer Hugh Arnold. The result is a vivid connection between past and present, bringing new life to scenes captured by past painters and offering visitors a fascinating variety of views of the common’s timeless landscape
