Robin Tanner: From Goldsmiths to the Great Depression

About

This exhibition will explore the life and work of Robin Tanner during the formative years of the 1920s and 30s. At the heart of the exhibition will be works from the Golder-Thompson Gift, which includes several etchings from the 1920s and 1930s that help us understand Tanner's blossoming interest in etching, wedded to his love of the English countryside.

As well as his career as an etcher, the exhibition will explore other key events in his life during this period, including his marriage to Heather Spackman, their new home Old Chapel Field, and the role Tanner played in transforming art education.

Join us at Chippenham Museum throughout the summer for a series of talks, walks and family activities to accompany the exhibition.
