This exhibition at The Collection - no doubt still
better-known to some as the old Usher Gallery in Lincoln - includes examples of
the work of some “British Masters from the David Ross Collection”.
David Ross, the co-founder of Car-Phone Warehouse, collects
British art made within his lifetime. The exhibition “explores the many
different ways modern and contemporary artists have responded to the landscape,
be it city or countryside, suburb or seaside”.
I found a railway painting - “From Willesden Green No 2”.
The artist, Leon Kossoff, whose style is described as expressionist and who has
chosen a number of scenes that include railway locations, has commented that
“Train lines open out the landscape, somehow”.
I agree with this statement, as it happens, but I could not
see how the picture helped, in this respect.
Copyright prevents me from including it here, though it can easily be found on the internet. We were not allowed to take pictures in the gallery.
