It has been 15 years since a bequest by collector Barbara Karmel has been displayed at the Stanley Spencer Gallery in the English painter’s former hometown of Cookham. 12 new works have now been chosen for the Gallery's winter exhibition.
The focus of the works for this season is on Spencer’s youthful romances with village girls Dorothy Hepworth and Emmy Wooster. The artist since wrote of his love for both women, who he apparently dated at the same time in promenades around Cookham.
Four oil paintings and eight drawings from the Bequest are joined by paintings on loan from other collectors.
The exhibition is open Thursdays to Sundays until March 2011.
