‘From Sickert to Gertler: Modern British Art from Boxted House’ celebrates the colourful character of Boxted House in Essex, the distinctive home of a remarkable couple, Bobby and Natalie Bevan, which played an important role in post-war British culture.

The show consists of over 100 items, virtually all of which had a personal link to Bobby and Nathalie, as well as their guests – artists, writers and politicians – for whom Boxted House was a gathering place during the 1950s and 60s.

Notable artists featured in this major new exhibition include Augustus John, Paul Cézanne, Francisco de Goya and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.

Entrance to the museum is free • Exhibition £5 adults, £3 concessions • Brighton Museum & Art Gallery, Royal Pavilion Gardens, Brighton BN1 1EE • 03000 290 900 • www.brighton.virtualmuseum.info
