World-renowned artists such as Ben Nicholson and Barbara Hepworth turned the picturesque coastal town of St. Ives in Cornwall into a dazzling international arts center. The many artists who settled there for a short or longer period of time were mainly inspired by the ancient landscape, the sea and the connection between the local population and its environment. Far from the big art centers and current developments, they found a personal style tailored to light, land and space. With the exhibition Living the Landscape Barbara Hepworth, Ben Nicholson and the artists of St. Ives, 1939-1975, Museum Belvédère is the first museum in the Netherlands to pay attention to a special chapter in the history of modern art in Great Britain. Exhibition: Museum Belvédère, Heerenveen, The Netherlands (28.05.-25.09.2022) Wereldberoemde kunstenaars als Ben Nicholson en Barbara Hepworth maakten van de pittoreske kustplaats St. Ives in Cornwall een wervelend internationaal kunstcentrum. De vele kunstenaars die zich er voor korte of langere tijd vestigden, lieten zich vooral inspireren door het eeuwenoude landschap, de zee en de verbondenheid tussen de plaatselijke bevolking en haar omgeving. Ver van de grote kunstcentra en actuele ontwikkelingen, vonden ze een persoonlijke stijl op de maat van licht, land en ruimte. Met de tentoonstelling Living the Landscape Barbara Hepworth, Ben Nicholson en de kunstenaars van St. Ives, 1939-1975 besteedt Museum Belvédère als eerste museum in Nederland aandacht aan een bijzonder hoofdstuk uit de geschiedenis van de moderne kunst in Groot-Brittannië. Exhibition: Museum Belvédère, Heerenveen, The Netherlands (28.05.-25.09.2022)
