The Wyeths: Three Generations of American Art
On loan from the Bank of America Collection9 June – �� August �0�0N.C Wyeth (1882–1945) was one of America’s finest illustrators – and he painted landscapes. His son, Andrew Wyeth (1917–2009), was regarded as America’s finest realist painter by the public but divided the critics. Andrew’s son, Jamie Wyeth (b. 1946), has carried on the family tradition. His work has its own colourful personality, and there are clear links with his father and grandfather. The Bank of America’s collection provides a full survey of all of these famous artists, while also giving a glimpse of the work of Andrew’s sister, Henriette Wyeth, and her husband Peter Hurd

Displays
Paul Nash: The Elements
Ends 9 May �0�0Paul Nash (1889–1946) painted beautiful landscapes of the Downs, strange flooded rooms, and classic images of two World Wars. The exhibition includes paintings, watercolours and photographs from the whole of his career, showing how he selected elementary objects, to put them in relationships of conflict or harmony, and found pathways, nests and thresholds between them and within them
The exhibition is being supported by Delancy, Air Canada, The Friends of Dulwich Picture Gallery, The Elizabeth Cayzer Charitable Trust, Daniel Katz Ltd., Offer Waterman, The Royal Historical Society Robinson Bequest
Salvator Rosa (�6�5–�673): Bandits, Wilderness and Magic
Part of the Melosi series: Rediscovering Old Masters �5 September – �8 November �0�0Salvator Rosa invented novel allegorical pictures, fanciful portraits of romantic and enigmatic figures; macabre and horrific subjects; highly original and philosophical subjects. No other artist has created windswept landscapes of such emotional power, or figures of such dark intensity. Unlike Caravaggio, Rosa was truly a rebel, radical, anti-clerical, associated with libertine thought, and often in real danger from the Inquisition
The exhibition has been supported by The Arthur and Holly Magill Foundation
Presiding Genius: A Year of Masterpieces: Bicentenary Celebration
One every month from January – December �0��As a celebration of the Gallery’s bicentenary, during each month of 2011 a masterpiece will be on show at the end of Sir John Soane’s famous enfilade.

Legacies
Dulwich Picture Gallery is England’s first purpose-built public art gallery and houses one of the best-loved collections of old master paintings in the country. The basis of the Gallery itself and the collection was shaped and continuously developed by bequests
It is thanks to the generosity and the legacy of Edward Alleyn in 1619, William Cartwright in 1686, Francis Bourgeois in 1811, William Linley in 1835 and Charles Fairfax Murray in 1911 that Dulwich Picture Gallery has become the outstanding place of cultural heritage it is today. In 2011, we will be celebrating the 200th anniversary of the iconic gallery building, built with a bequest from Bourgeois and Desenfan’s wife and designed by Sir John Soane
In order to continue to share this heritage with our visitors, the community and the next generation, we need over £2million a year to fund our activities for which we receive no public funding
Legacies are a popular, tax-effective way of contributing towards the work of the Gallery and the Gallery’s greatest needs. For more information on ways to include Dulwich Picture Gallery in your will, please contact the Development Department on 020 8299 8725.
