The Shape of Things: Still Life in Britain
The Shape of Things, at Pallant House Gallery, questioned the idea that still life is a lesser genre, showing how important it is to artists and society.
De Waal's 2021 piece September Song, II, was on display alongside works by Hurvin Anderson, Vanessa Bell, Edward Burra, Patrick Caulfield, Lucian Freud, Gluck, Duncan Grant, Richard Hamilton, Mona Hatoum, Jann Haworth, David Hockney, Lee Miller, Paul Nash, Ben Nicholson, William Nicholson, Eric Ravilious, Anwar Jalal Shemza, William Scott, Walter Sickert, Stanley Spencer, Rachel Whiteread and Clare Woods. The exhibition looked at how these artists have used traditional art history to express the complexities of the human condition.
