April - 2 November 2014
The summer's
exhibition at the Gallery, open now until November 2014, is entitled 'Paradise
Regained. Spencer in the Aftermath of the First World War'.
The theme, timed to coincide with the 2014 Centenary of the Great War,
examines the effect this momentous event had upon Stanley Spencer's art.
On display are key paintings from the period through which the artist
sought to regain the artistic vision he feared lost as a result of the
trauma of war. Also exhibited are works and supplementary material
about Spencer's wartime experiences in Macedonia and the planning of the
Burghclere Chapel.

This
Gallery is dedicated to the life and work of Sir Stanley
Spencer RA. (1891 - 1959)
The Stanley Spencer Gallery was first opened in 1962,
three years after the artist's death. It stands as a lasting memorial to
the man who became synonymous with the village of Cookham. He loved his
home; it gave him the strength and comfort he needed to be able to allow
his imagination to soar and to fully exploit his genius talent for drawing
and painting.
