Between the wars something extraordinary happened to the British seaside – it became modern. Enticed by eye-catching railway posters, holidaymakers headed for the coast. Meanwhile, artists galore found inspiration on the beach, from Laura Knight in Lamorna and Eric Ravilious in Newhaven to Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore in North Norfolk. With eye-catching artworks, glorious posters and startling archive photos, this exuberant, colourful lecture explores a remarkable period in 20th century British culture.
