The Narrow World of Norman Cornish

Fri 28th Jan - Fri 4th Mar 2011

One of the most important artists to have emerged from the North East in the post-war years Norman Cornish, born in 1919, in Spennymoor, County Durham, was apprenticed at the age of 14 at the Dean and Chapter Colliery and spent the next 33 years working in the pits. His paintings and drawings evoke the life of mining villages in the 30’s and 40’s and a landscape both intensely beautiful and marked by heavy industry.
