1937
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 1937 is a 1937 by Laura Knight, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The image features a poster with a pencil drawing of a classical statue of a woman, likely Venus, with her right arm raised and her left arm resting on her hip. The statue is surrounded by other classical elements, including a column and a mask. In the foreground, the words "ROYAL ACADEMY SUMMER EXHIBITION" are written in large letters, with the dates "9 A.M. TO 5 P.M. 1/6" and "5 P.M. TO 7 P.M. 1/-" written below. The background of the poster is a dark gray color, which contrasts with the light gray tones of the pencil drawing. The poster appears to be an advertisement for an art exhibition, and the use of classical imagery suggests a focus on traditional art forms.
