Exhibition Revives Legacy of Forgotten Artist Gladys Hynes at Charleston
An exhibition titled 'Gladys Hynes: Radical Lives' is set to open at Charleston in Lewes, aiming to revive the legacy of the largely forgotten artist Gladys Hynes. Hynes, who lived from 1888 to 1958, was a prominent figure in early 20th-century Britain's avant-garde circles. She was known for her work with the Bloomsbury Group and was selected to represent Great Britain at the 1924 Venice Biennale. Despite her achievements, Hynes's name has largely disappeared from historical records, with only one of her paintings held in a British public collection. The exhibition will feature 120 works, including paintings, drawings, and sculptures, and will explore her connections with other artists and her political activism. The show is curated by Sacha Llewellyn, who aims to spark discussions about Hynes's politics and the broader context of her time.
