Samuel Palmer and 'The Ancients' (Fitzwilliam Museum Publications)It is many years since a major exhibition in England was devoted to the work of the whole of Samuel Palmer's circle, 'The Ancients', a group of young men which included, among others, the painters George and Welby Sherman, all of whom were much influenced by William Blake.

The Art of Layering: Making Connections"The Society of Layerists in Multi-Media demonstrates through its members' art the dynamic transition taking place: the collective awareness is shifting from seeing humanity as separate and disconnected, to viewing it as an integral part of the cosmic whole.
