Aspire : The Year of ConstableConstable and Freud: Legacy and the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing12 September 2015 - 31 January 2016Exhibition Open: 10.00 - 16.00, Tuesday - SundayFREEConstable’s masterpiece Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows is joined by two iconic works from Tate’s collection: Lucian Freud’s Man with a Thistle (Self-Portrait) and Standing by the Rags. Freud always acknowledged his admiration of Constable’s work and the influence that Constable’s practice had on his own, stating:

‘Constable was an incredibly emotional painter in the proper sense’ The display also includes examples of Constable’s life drawing and works by Cedric Morris, Freud’s tutor at the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing. Situated in the heart of ‘Constable country’ Freud’s attendance at the school brought him into first hand contact with the landscapes that Constable cherished. Come and explore the relationships between these works first hand.
