ART QUAKE 1910: MANET/ POST IMPRESSIONISTS EXHIBITION (HB)

Cézanne, Picasso, Matisse, Gauguin and van Gogh were all introduced to the British public in a single exhibition in 1910. Reactions ranged from outrage to mockery to a sense of ecstatic liberation. Vividly evoking the personalities of Roger Fry and the Bloomsbury Group members who staged the exhibition, as well as the artists themselves, David Boyd Haycock captures not just a pivotal moment in British art but a whole society on the brink of upheaval.
