Abbot Hall, Winifred Nicholson & Kurt Schwitters and
Hutton-in-the-Forest
There is an increasing recognition of Winifred Nicholson’s importance and a growing interest in her work. 'Winifred Nicholson in Cumberland' will also be the first museum exhibition to concentrate solely on the paintings she made in Cumbria, and will break fresh ground as many of the paintings have not been seen before.
German refugee, Kurt Schwitters, died in Kendal in 1948 and is today recognised as one of the most important and influential artists of the twentieth century. This expanded display showcases works by Schwitters from Lakeland Arts’ small, but wonderfully varied collection of paintings, collages, sculpture and drawings.
Lunch will be available in Hutton-in-the-Forest cafe
A house of six periods between the mid 14th and the mid 19th centuries, Hutton-in-the-Forest is a rich illustration of the development of the country house in the North of England. A tour through the interiors at Hutton is a remarkable journey in time. From the medieval Stone Hall to the high Victorian Drawing Room, the rooms are rich in history and notable for their contents. Every room has fine examples of furniture of its period and there is an interesting collection of needlework and tapestry, some of it more than 500 years old.
