"From El Greco to Turner, from Monet to Hockney, landscape has served as a source of inspiration and exploration for artists throughout the centuries. This fascination with landscape; pictorially, lyrically and conceptually has proved to be a deep well of creative stimulus to draw from. For generations of our family it has been a guide, friend and sparring partner that has challenged and enriched our art and our lives. This exhibition sheds light on the different ways our family has worked with landscape."
