Description
Rare Fred Cuming (1930-2022) exhibition catalogue produced by Adam Gallery c. 2006 in very good condition.
“We are thrilled to present a show of new work by Fred Cuming. For visitors to the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, Fred Cuming needs no introduction. One of Britain’s most distinguished contemporary landscape painters, he has shown annually at the Royal Academy since his election as an RA in 1974. In 2001 he was the featured artist in the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition, and has an entire gallery within the show dedicated to his work.
This exhibition includes recent paintings of the costal landscape of southern England, particularly the area around Fred’s home town of Rye in Sussex. A feeling of light and space pervades the work. Big open skies dominate the compositions, and the figures seem humbled by the power of the elements around them. The seemingly effortless way he captures a floating cloud or sunset show he is a master of his chosen genre.”
