‘Behind the Scenes with George Soper’, take a closer look at evocative drawings of rural life before the Second World War.
Join us in the gallery to explore early 20th century rural industries through these beautiful artworks.
George Soper was passionate about rural life, and in particular the working horse, capturing the spirit of the time through a true and accurate depiction of the farming year. His drawings, paintings and woodcuts show a way of life already under threat from the introduction of mechanisation. These powerful, inspiring, and beautifully observed images accurately illustrate the energy and strain of the working horse, which would soon be replaced by the more efficient tractor, in a style evocative of this era.
