St Ives Art Evolution
This exhibition of paintings highlights abstract concepts in relation to the natural world, a subject which preoccupied Wilhelmina Barns-Graham for more than three decades of her art career. Born in Fife, Scotland, in 1912, Barns-Graham travelled and studied in Europe during the late 1930s before arriving in St Ives in 1940.
