Visited two excellent exhibitions today at #SheffieldMuseums: Pioneers (Ruskin, Morris and Bauhaus) at the Millennium Gallery - https://www.sheffieldmuseums.org.uk/whats-on/pioneers/ - and Scottish Colourists at the Graves.

Feel very lucky to have them on the doorstep…

Today, I had a long look at #PaulNash’s ‘The Mine Crater, Hill 60, Ypres Salient’ (1917) at #SheffieldMuseums’ Graves Gallery:

Paul Nash joined the Artists Rifles in September 1914, and in 1917 was appointed as an official war artist recording the war in Flanders.

The UK’s Sheffield Museums are appealing to the public for help in recovering a dozen metal works that were stolen from the Kelham Island Museum.
