Description
The Ashington Group's story is one of art and perseverance in the face of adversity. In the 1930s, a group of pitmen from a small village in North England came together to learn about art appreciation in their spare time. Despite being tracked down by documentary photographers and film makers, they maintained their independence and continued to create their unique works. Over the decades, the group's art gained recognition, and their work was eventually exhibited in Europe and China. A permanent collection was established, and a gallery was built at Woodhorn Colliery, now the Woodhorn Colliery Museum. This book tells the story of the Ashington Group's journey, from their humble beginnings to their international recognition. Written by William Feaver, Pitmen Painters offers a fascinating account of the role art can play in modern life, highlighting the determination and creativity of these ordinary people.
