Tate St Ives opened a major retrospective dedicated to Wilhelmina Barns-Graham (1912–2004), one of the most innovative figures in British modernism and a key member of St Ives’s groundbreaking mid-century artistic community. This long overdue celebration of Barns-Graham’s work marks the first exhibition to span the full breadth of her practice, tracing its evolution from early landscapes and interior paintings to the increasingly abstract and gestural compositions of her later years and showing the vitality and range of a remarkable eight-decade career.
