Drawn to the Coast: Turner, Constable, Cotman
Time & Tide Museum of Great Yarmouth Life, Great Yarmouth

Drawn to the Coast: Turner, Constable, Cotman explores the identity of Great Yarmouth and its surrounding scenery through the art work it has inspired - the big skies, windswept vistas and bustling boat-based industries offering a rich mine of colour, characters and composition for some of Britain’s greatest landscape artists.
Highlights of the show include two loaned works by J.M.W Turner from Tate – a watercolour of Great Yarmouth, and, on display in the county for the first time, his Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex sketchbook.
The show, which has been designed and curated with assistance from Community Curators and volunteers, explores a fascinating selection of works by the headline artists alongside examples by other well-known names, particularly from the Norwich School of painters, such as Joseph Stannard and John Crome. The works on show include a diverse range of media from oil on canvas and watercolours to pencil sketches and etchings.
Drawn to the Coast is the culmination of the Sea History Differently project – a two year project funded by the Esmée Fairbairn Collections Fund which aims to transform engagement with maritime collections.

We are looking for Norwich artists to create inspirational art for women in recovery who would be willing to donate the art to hang in our rehab. We would publicise the donation in local press hopefully raising awareness for our rehab and the artist. Please do contact me if anyone is interested.

Missing piece of an exciting international art world jigsaw puzzle
comes to light in Norwich at the Castle Museum
 
The story so far:
The third quarter of Belgian Surrealist artist René Magritte's lost painting of two female nudes La Pose enchantée is re-discovered hidden under another painting La Condition humaine in Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery
 
The whereabouts of the fourth and final quarter remains unknown.

The painting in question is about to go on view at the Pompidou Centre in Paris as part of a major exhibition of Magritte's paintings.
