The Vale of the White Horse (c.1939)
Tate
The Director of the Tate Gallery selected 123 pictures which seemed to him to illustrate most clearly the development of British painting during the past fifty years. In his selection he laid particular emphasis on the painting done by the war artists.
When it became known that this exhibition was available it was invited to almost every European capital, and it proved possible to arrange for it to be shown in Brussels, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Paris, Berne, Vienna, Prague, Warsaw and Rome.
