The Arts Club London announces two new exhibitions celebrating the work of Frederick J. Brown and Judith Godwin, whose significant but frequently overlooked contributions have played a key role in the 20th century turn towards abstraction. Open to both members and the public from 13 February to 25 May, Lands of the Mind and Reflection present an unmissable opportunity to rediscover the achievements of Brown and Godwin within the broader context of one of art history’s most influential periods of creative experimentation.
These tandem exhibitions bring renewed focus to voices often overlooked in art history. Lands of the Mind will feature the works of Brown and be displayed across the club’s Drawing Room,whilst Reflection will present Godwin’s work in the neighbouring Ante Room. Complementingthese shows are a curated selection of works on paper by Abstract Expressionist artists showcased on the club’s grand staircase. Together, the shows provide a nuanced lens on the wider movement’s legacy, offering insights into its evolution and the varied practices of its artists.
