David Haughton @ Penlee House


David Haughton
(1924–1991)
Penlee House Gallery & Museum, Penlee Park, Penzance

Due to planned maintenance work within the galleries at Penlee the DAVID HAUGHTON exhibition has been postponed until January 2018. 
This gives the team at Penlee extra time to gather interest and promises of loans, and for this blog to find its way to even more Haughton enthusiasts and collectors.

In the meantime David will be represented by one work in the forthcoming exhibition at Penlee which begins on 12 September 2015. 

THE BIGGER PICTURE showcases an assortment of diverse paintings from the St Ives region produced between the 1920s and early 1960s. David's work "St Just" (1958) will hang beside works by Peter Lanyon, Terry Frost, Patrick Heron, Cedric Morris, Adrian Ryan, John Wells, and Wilhelmina Barns-Graham.

Tom Early: Rusty Boiler, Pendeen
Alan Lowndes: Fishing Boat
The Bigger Picture, unusual for Penlee House in that it focuses principally on those artists associated with St Ives, reads like a veritable role-call of the artistic activity of the time. David's associate from his sojourn in West Penwith, Kit Barker, will be featured along side works by Roger Hilton, Patrick Hayman, Alexander Mackenzie, and Paul Feiler.  Add to this the likes of Alfred Wallis, Mary Jewels, Christopher Wood, Jack Pender, Alan Lowndes, and Tom Early, the show looks set to be the must-see exhibition this autumn in West Cornwall!
