Autum

A selection of works examining of the most beautiful, transformative and amusing expressions of the autumn season drawn from Tate’s collection. Divided into key themes – ‘Fields of Gold’, ‘A Bountiful Harvest’, ‘Indoors & Outdoors’, ‘Symbolism’, ‘Bump in the Night’ and ‘Abstraction’ – this little book considers how the traditional season of harvest and falling leaves has influenced artists over the centuries. Works of art – including paintings, drawings, sculptures, illustrations and installations – are punctuated by brief captions adding background detail or additional information about the art, artists and their subjects.

Featured artists include: Barbara Hepworth, Salvador Dalí, Peter Brook, Jeff Wall, Vanessa Bell, Stanley Spencer, Winifred Nicholson, John Singer Sargent, Eileen Agar and Edward Burra
