Sheffield.
I can’t recall if I read about this exhibition in BBC History Magazine, set my heart on going and then went to Sheffield to see it or if I visited in my free time during a college outing to Sheffield Hallam University, which is only a short walk from the Graves. Perhaps I read about it and then used the college trip as a pretext to get to Sheffield and see it [I certainly had no intention of enrolling at Sheffield Hallam or any other university at that time of my life]. Either way, it was the first exhibition I ever planned to visit and subsequently visited.

The post card features one of Terence Donovan’s iconic photographs, “Thermodynamic“, which is one of my favourites.

If you find yourself in Hull, go and see this. I had not taken much notice of the paintings of Beryl Cook before, but this exhibition was something of an eye opener. The Maritime Museum sounds like an odd venue, especially since there is an art gallery just across the road, but the Court Room on the first floor is a great exhibition space and well suited to the occasion.

If you want to know more, have a look at this article from the Hull Daily Mail: http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Hull-s-Beryl-Cook-exhibition-attracts-8-000/story-21004977-detail/story.html
