Keith Vaughan, Study for seated
figure
3 February – 25 March 2007
Vaughan was a leading member of the Neo-Romantic movement and
one of Britain’s greatest artists of the post-war era. Most of his
work concerns the landscape or the male nude, or a combination of
the two. A tortured soul, he committed suicide in 1977 aged 65.
The Victoria Art Gallery exhibition will contain 50 oil
paintings, gouaches, photographs and sketchbooks by Keith Vaughan.
It is the first museum show of his work for 26 years and coincides
with the the 30th anniversary of his death.
Copies of the fully illustrated catalogue are now sold
out.
