SUMMARY:Powder and Presence: Pastel Portraits in the Eighteenth Century
DESCRIPTION:This autumn\, the Holburne is delighted to unveil Powder and Presence: Pastel Portraits in the Eighteenth Century\, a new temporary collection display on the 2nd floor. \n  \nIn the 1700s\, pastel rose in popularity as a favoured medium for both professional and amateur artists. Through Venetian and French influence\, British artists embraced pastel for its soft and silky texture – ideally suited to capture the delicate nuances of skin and textiles in portraiture. \nOur new display includes portraits by eighteenth-century pastelists from the Holburne’s own collection. Alongside leading European artists\, such as Jean-Étienne Liotard and Anna Tonelli\, are Bathonian portraitists William Hoare and his son Prince Hoare\, as well as the celebrated draughtsman Thomas Lawrence. Unlike oil\, pastel’s immediacy made it ideal for quick commissions from Bath’s many visitors\, as it required no drying time and a portrait could be completed\, framed\, and ready to take home within hours. \nImage credit: Unknown lady (called Mary Robinson) with a singing child\, John Russell (1745 – 1806)\, 1793. Pastel on paper\, purchased from Frank Brown in 1979.

SUMMARY:The Shape of Care: Making Care Visible 
DESCRIPTION:Discover The Shape of Care\, a group exhibition which invites us to pause and consider where care lives in our daily routines and how it shapes our sense of belonging.\n\nOver the past year\, our Pathways to Wellbeing community has explored what care looks like — it’s presence and absence\, the moments in which it is given or received\, and the ways it can be felt\, witnessed and made visible through making.\nPresented through personal and powerful responses\, the exhibition celebrates the small\, sustaining gestures that can sometimes be overlooked or undervalued: patient attention\, thoughtful exchanges\, creative connections.\n\nThis exhibition marks the third exhibition of work from our creative community and highlights the Holburne’s belief in the powerful relationship between art\, creativity\, and personal and social wellbeing. It reflects the museum’s commitment to championing practices in which care is embedded in every interaction — with our visitors\, the artists and groups we collaborate with\, and the volunteers and staff who support our work.\n\nThis exhibition has been created in collaboration with the Gardener’s Lodge Art Group\, IMAGE Group\, Happy Mondays\, artists\, facilitators\, volunteers and staff from Pathways to Wellbeing.

SUMMARY:Don McCullin: Broken Beauty
DESCRIPTION:As legendary photographer Sir Don McCullin turns 90\, the Holburne is proud to present Broken Beauty\, a rich selection of images drawn from across McCullin’s career: from London to Vietnam\, Northern Ireland to Cyprus\, scenes of violence and suffering offset by still-lives and landscapes from the Middle East\, Southeast Asia\, and his home in Somerset. \n  \nSir Don McCullin is one of the most influential photographers of the last sixty years\, renowned for his powerful black-and-white images documenting conflict\, humanitarian crises\, poverty and post-war Britain. Alongside these defining works\, McCullin has created equally compelling landscapes\, portraits and still-lifes\, all characterised by an extraordinary sensitivity and depth. \nAt the heart of Broken Beauty is a remarkable collection of McCullin’s latest photographs of ancient Roman statues. Never before shown in the UK\, they offer visitors a rare opportunity to experience a new and contemplative side of McCullin’s practice. \nAs well as being one of the greatest photographers of our time\, Don has life-long connections to this part of the world. We are thrilled to be showing for the first time in the UK a group of his most recent images of Roman sculpture\, which in their haunting beauty offer a contemporary view of ancient art that feels perfectly at home at the Holburne. \n– Chris Stephens\, Director of the Holburne \n  \nImage credit: Venus\, Palazzo Massimo\, Rome 2022\, Don McCullin\, \n© Don McCullin\, Courtesy the artist and Hauser & Wirth.

SUMMARY:Royal School of Needlework - Partnership Embroidery Class inspired by Zandra Rhodes: A Life in Print       Fully Booked
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 18th April\, 10am – 4pm\n£185* price includes museum entry and all bespoke materials kit.\nYou will be able to visit the exhibition at lunchtime and after the class until the museum closes at 5pm.\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us at the Holburne Museum to create an eye-catching canvas and beadwork hand embroidery design inspired by Zandra Rhodes: A Life in Print\, an exhibition showcasing a spectacular array of Dame Zandra Rhodes’ vibrant screen-printed garments from the 1960s\, 70s and 80s. During the day you will be treated to an expert-led viewing of the exhibition and see the original dress from her ‘Secrets of the Nile’ Collection (Spring/Summer 1987). \nStudents will be introduced to the hand embroidery techniques of Canvas work and Beadwork. You will spend the morning creating a background of stitches using different coloured stranded cotton and metallic thread\, focusing on Tent Stitch\, Florentine Stitch and Vertical Milanese Stitch. In the afternoon session you’ll move on to richly embellish their work using a selection of beads\, threads and sequins. \nAll materials will be provided\, as will a fully illustrated instruction booklet and scissors and frames to use for the day. It may be useful for students to bring their own sewing kits if they prefer and any aids to magnification and light that they may wish to use. The finished design size will be approximately 9.5 cm x 5 cm. All aspects of the design will be covered during the class and a full instruction booklet will be included in the kit to enable you to complete the design at home. \n  \nZandra Rhodes: A Life in Print \nWithin the Holburne’s historic Ballroom\, this vivid staging celebrates Rhodes as a trailblazer in colour and screen-printed textile design\, who completely redefined the role of print in fashion. It highlights Rhodes’ mastery in working with print as a structural influence on garment shape and her skill in harnessing print and colour make garments sing with life on the body. \nThe display of vintage mannequins\, generously loaned by Fashion Museum Bath\, will take visitors on a journey through Rhodes’ most iconic prints and the inventive ways she has transformed them into garments. \nAfter earning an MA in Printed Textiles from the Royal College of Art in 1964\, Rhodes broke new ground as one of the first designers to marry the craft of screen-printing with fashion design\, launching a distinctive career that has spanned 6 decades and continues to evolve today. Establishing her eponymous label in 1969\, she has screen-printed and designed over 100 fashion collections. Her bold garments have dressed rockstars and royalty\, including Freddie Mercury and Diana\, Princess of Wales\, and in 2003 she founded London’s Fashion and Textile Museum. \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Beyond Impressionism: Printmaking from Manet to Picasso
DESCRIPTION:The Holburne is delighted to present Beyond Impressionism: Printmaking from Manet to Picasso\, an exhibition celebrating the resurgence of printmaking from the mid-19th century onwards. \nTaking a broad view of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism\, the exhibition spans the reappraisal of the artform in the 1850s through to the 1930s. Bringing together prints by key artists of the movement including Édouard Manet\, Pierre Bonnard\, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec\, and Pablo Picasso\, among others\, the exhibition explores how these artists\, primarily known for their paintings\, made remarkable contributions to the medium of printmaking. \nHarking back to their artistic predecessors such as Rembrandt and Goya\, many of the leading painters of the 19th-century returned to the medium of printmaking\, once again elevating its status as a form of artistic expression in its own right. Looking beyond the work of a single artist\, the exhibition reveals the far-reaching influence of the movement\, bringing together scenes from country life through to the centres of the metropolis of London and Paris. \nAmong the earliest proponents in the resurgence of printmaking during the period\, Édouard Manet led the way for his contemporaries as a key member of the Société des Aquafortistes\, founded in 1862 to promote etching as an equally prestigious medium comparable with painting and drawing. Key examples of his experiments with the medium will be displayed\, including his delicate portrait of Berthe Morisot (1872) and an etching of his well-known painting Olympia (1865). \nExploring the commercial side of printmaking\, the exhibition highlights the key role played by printers\, publishers and dealers of the period\, such as Félix Bracquemond and Ambroise Vollard. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s colour lithographs will further demonstrate the commercial application of printmaking during this period\, with his promotional images of Parisian nightlife\, such as Irish and American Bar\, Rue Royale (1896) and his famous poster of the Moulin Rouge – La Goulue (1891). \nBeyond the trappings of urban life\, the exhibition also spotlights how artists used printmaking to depict scenes of domestic and rural life. Key examples of this can be seen in Vincent van Gogh’s Gardener by an apple tree (1883)\, Paul Cézanne’s Entrée de ferme\, rue Rémy\, Auvers (1873) and Berthe Morisot’s etching of herself drawing with her daughter (1889). \nExploring the technical considerations of printmaking\, the exhibition reveals how artists experimented with a wide range of processes – including those taken from Japanese printmakers\, whose work had a profound influence on the Post-Impressionists – works by artists including Camille Pissarro and James McNeill Whistler will be shown alongside a selection of works by Japanese printmakers including Utagawa Hiroshige’s  Sudden Shower over Shin-ōhashi Bridge and Atake (1857). \nDirector of the Holburne\, Chris Stephens\, said: “We’re beyond excited to be bringing such a range of major artists to the Holburne. The paintings of the Impressionists are so familiar\, we seem to forget that the same generation of artists\, and their successors\, radically changed printmaking as well. It is wonderful to be able to demonstrate the revival of etching from Whistler’s Venetian nocturnes to Picasso’s Minotaures alongside Gauguin’s rare woodblock prints and lithographs by Toulouse-Lautrec\, Bonnard and Vuillard.” \nImage: cropped image of Berthe Morisot\, 1872\, by Édouard Manet.
