Beggarstaffs was the pseudonym used by the British artists William Nicholson and James Pryde for their partnership in poster design and other graphic work in the 1890s. Pryde and Nicholson’s Beggarstaff graphics and their later individual works as painters have never before been shown together. This groundbreaking exhibition will explore for the first time the fascinating way in which their reciprocal influence and shared love of striking subject matter worked on their very different temperaments to inspire two remarkable artistic careers.
Exhibition curated by Stephen Calloway.
