The McDowall Collection of British Neo-Romantic Art is an exhibition of 60 paintings, drawings and prints by both well known and lesser known artists who continued to be inspired by the neo-romantic tradition from the 1940s to the 1990s.
Starting with work by William Blake and Samuel Palmer, the father figures of the romantic movement, the collection moves on to artists such as Graham Sutherland, Edward Bawden and Paul Nash. The post war period is represented with works by John Piper, Michael Rothenstein, Julian Trevelyan and Keith Vaughan.
William Scott’s Aeroplane with Shadows, 1944 is one of the works included in this exhibition.
