Show celebrates legacy of the art school in Benton End—which counted Lucian Freud among its students

An exhibition at London's Garden Museum, titled "Benton End: A Paradise of Pollen and Paint," will explore the legacy of the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing and its founders, artists Cedric Morris and Arthur Lett-Haines. The school operated from the Tudor manor house Benton End in Suffolk from 1940 to the 1970s, attracting students including a young Lucian Freud and Maggi Hambling. The show features immersive reconstructions, original objects, and the portrait "Man in Black Scarf" (1939), controversially attributed to Freud, exhibited publicly for the first time.

Berlin exhibition focuses in on women photographers of the Bauhaus

The Museum für Fotografie in Berlin is hosting a major exhibition titled "New Woman, New Vision," featuring approximately 300 photographs by 29 women associated with the Bauhaus. The show aims to dismantle the persistent myth that female students at the influential German school were restricted to the weaving workshop. By showcasing works from figures like Lucia Moholy, Ise Gropius, and Marianne Brandt, the exhibition highlights how women were integral to the school’s photographic documentation and its development as a standalone artistic medium.
