This exhibition explores Wallis’ unique vision and his influence on Nicholson’s work, focusing on paintings and drawings by the two artists dating from the late 1920s to the 1940s. Major loans from public collections will be shown alongside rarely seen works from private collections and Compton Verney’s own important Wallis painting Schooner Approaching Harbour c1930.

What’s new for 2011

New in the grounds

ArtMarcia Farquhar’s The Horse is a Noble Animal takes the form of a giant rocking horse that has found its way out of the playroom and into the landscape. Marcia will lead a performance from the horse in the summer.

The grounds will also be the site for Jem Finer’s Spiegelei, situated near the bridge and lake. Finer’s immersive, perspective-altering work projects a 360 degree, upside-down vision of the grounds by way of a three-way camera obscura.

Included in collections and grounds admission.

Both works were curatorially developed with Parabola as part

of Tatton Park Biennial 2010.

Families in the groundsChildren’s playgroundClimb, swing and explore in our new playground, hidden away in the Christmas tree plantation.

Nature’s art boxGet creative with natural materials found under the trees – make faces from fir cones, sculptures from stones and portraits from pebbles.

Willow tunnelsChildren of all ages will love to explore and hide in the new tunnels in the ice house coppice.

Ice houseLook inside our newly-restored ice house, which continues to provide a roost for several species of bat.

All activities included in collections and grounds admission. Children under 12 years must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

Make sure you pick up a grounds plan from the ticket lodge to ensure that you enjoy all of our new family friendly activities.

Dr Roderick Campbell, University of Oxford

The ritual bronze vessels of the late Shang dynasty (c.1250-1050 BC) are justly famous for their beauty and technological achievement. Less well known is the fact that they were part of rituals that frequently involved human sacrifice. Dr Campbell, the recently-appointed Sir Peter Moores Fellow in Chinese Archaeology at Oxford University, looks closely at this fascinating if bone-chilling aspect of ancient Chinese bronzes.

All tickets include collections, grounds and exhibitions admission, and all materials are provided.

To book call 01926 645500.

Participants will need to bring a packed lunch or reserve a table for lunch in the café at 12 noon by calling 01926 645511. Please book your place on the workshop first.

Stanley Spencer and the English garden

15 October – 11 December

Quentin Blake is known primarily as an illustrator of children’s books – including, most famously, the works of Roald Dahl – but he has also worked with galleries and public institutions across Europe. His spontaneous, recognisable style has won him countless awards, and in 1999 he was created Britain’s first Children’s Laureate. This display of Quentin’s works features some of his more familiar illustrations, together with some recent works from hospitals and maternity units. It is a rare and fascinating opportunity to see Quentin at his most inventive, amusing and therapeutic.

Quentin Blake: As large as life

15 October – 11 December

From the origins of Britain’s Firework Night celebrations, through the folklore of Fire Festivals as they are enacted now, this exhibition focuses on the astonishingly vivid and vital artwork of the packaging and advertisements of 20th century fireworks.

Exhibition co-organised by Compton Verney and The Museum of British Folklore.

Remember, remember: A history of British fireworks

‘Capability’ Brown and the landscapes of Middle England25 June – 2 October

This is the first-ever exhibition focusing on the work of the internationally renowned landscape designer ‘Capability’ Brown (1716–83) in the Midlands. Through themes and case studies, including an analysis of Compton Verney’s own parkland, the

exhibition shows how improvements in guns and carriage technology were just as important as neoclassical mythology in creating mid-Georgian landscapes that appeared to be ‘natural’, but were in reality just as artificial as the formal gardens they replaced.

25 June – 2 October

This exhibition focuses on a crucial, but hitherto ignored, aspect of Spencer’s work: his gorgeous garden views and landscapes. Its central theme is as relevant today as it was in Interwar Britain: the increasing development of the countryside, and the ensuing confrontation between the natural environment and man-made structures.
