Tate Britain

Millbank, London, SW1P 4RG

Two exhibitions, two influential British artists, one ticket.
The first retrospective in London in 40 years, it will showcase Burra’s interest in experiencing society and culture abroad. A keen social documentarian, his scenes also include macabre landscapes that reflect his experience of world events, including the Spanish Civil War, Second World War, and post-war industrial revolution. Burra’s lived experience of disability influenced his artistic practice and may have informed his portrayal of marginalised communities.

This landmark exhibition of over 140 artworks and archival materials traces Colquhoun’s evolution, from her early student work and engagement with the surrealist movement, to her fascination with the intertwining realms of art, sexual identity, ecology and occultism. It culminates in a room dedicated to Colquhoun’s interpretation of the Taro deck – her most accomplished fusion of her artistic and magical practice.
