A fresh perspective on reassuringly familiar artists

Go around the new exhibition of familiar British modernists at Kettle's Yard and you will constantly be provoked into thinking, ‘Who’s this by?’

Art and Life: 1920–1931: Ben Nicholson, Winifred Nicholson, Christopher Wood, Alfred Wallis & William Staite Murray

Kettle’s Yard, Cambridge, until 11 May

This exhibition examines a loosely knit community of artists and their interaction over a decade at the beginning of the last century. It is centred around the marriage of Ben and Winifred Nicholson (which began to split up in 1931), involves their crucial joint-friendship with Christopher Wood and a fruitful exhibiting relationship with William Staite Murray, topped off by the all-pervading influence of a true original, Alfred Wallis, Cornish fisherman, marine-stores dealer and compulsive painter.
