Laura Knight and the Theatre
One of the great artists of the British impressionist movement,
Dame Laura Knight’s work has a richness and intensity that is
finding a new generation of fans in the 21st century. Her drawings
and paintings of the stage life of Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes have
rarely, if ever, been exhibited and provide a fascinating insight
into a time when the company’s performances of Stravinsky’s Rite of
Spring were causing a sensation.
