Three Cambridge exhibitions in January 2013

Three exhibitions to visit in January 2013


1. Snow Country: Woodcuts of the Japanese Winter




Utagawa Kuniteru, Rolling a snow ball, c.1840Source:  Explorer Magazine 

If you haven't yet seen this exquisite exhibition, you have another few days before it closes!  I saw it just before Christmas and was entranced.  It's an intimate atmospheric show and nicely focused.  The print above shows you some children building a snow rabbit.  No catalogue, alas!


Where:  Fitzwilliam Museum

When:  Ends Sun, 13 Jan.
Tues-Sat 10-5. Sun 12-5.
Free.




Samuel Butler, Landscape, Varallo (oil on canvas, 1885)
Source:  St John's

This is the Victorian man-of-letters Samuel Butler who wrote Erewhon and The Way of All Flesh.  He apparently also travelled to Italy a lot and painted what he saw there.  A one-day chance to see St John's collection of his works.

Where:  St John's College, Old Library.
When:  Sat, 12 Jan 2013.  10 am - 4 pm.
Free.

3. Stray Artists @ ArtCell




An out-of-the-way gallery that I had not heard of before and that intrigues me.  I'll try and visit this month!  Then I will report on it.  Let me know if you've been (or plan to go).

Where:  ArtCell.  Gallery at Cancer Research UK, Robinson Way on Puddicombe Way, Addenbrooke's Hospital, CB2 0RE.  Off Long Road.
When:  Mon-Sun 10-5.  Ends 9 Feb 2013.

  1. Hi picturetalk!
    Enjoyed your Blog. Haven't had the opportunity to see the Japenese Winter exhibition yet but I will be making a B-line for it.
    Also wanted to share an interview with Brian Sewell, which the Mall Galleries, London held recently. Soundbites have been recorded and I have posted them on my artist's Facebook page (www.facebook.com/DavidWoodArt) and you can listen to them here http://www.mallgalleries.org.uk/index.php?pid=353
