Pick of the week
The present generation of East Anglian artists is represented in the forthcoming exhibition at the John Davies Gallery, Moreton-in-Marsh,). Gerard Stamp is Norfolk by birth, education and love of predecessors such as J. S. Cotman. Together with Turner, Bawden, Constable, Piper, Seago and, of course, Cotman, he provided the illustrations for Peter Tolhurst's excellent (2019; Black Dog Books, £30) and Mr Tolhurst has written an introduction to the catalogue for the show, which travels beyond East Anglia. The 25 large watercolours are mostly interiors of the Three Choirs cathedrals, Gloucester (), Hereford and Worcester, with other views and details of Ely, Exeter, Norwich and Wells. Also included are some delightful studies of English parish churches. Prices range from £4,500 to £12,000.
