Our major summer exhibition examines the intersection of abstraction and landscape in British art from the 1920s to the early 1970s.
Organised in collaboration with The Hepworth Wakefield, ‘Into Abstraction’ draws on their extensive holdings of modern art while also spotlighting key works from The Burton’s collection. It explores how artists embraced abstraction during periods of social upheaval to engage with the natural world and human experience.
The exhibition includes works by Henry Moore, Patrick Heron, Barbara Hepworth, Allin Braund, Gillian Ayres and L.S. Lowry.
In collaboration with The Hepworth Wakefield, and with support from The Golsoncott Foundation and Little Greene.
