DESIGN
This collection brings together artworks connected to design, decoration, and the applied arts, including studies of interiors, architectural ornament, furniture, and decorative composition. Reflecting the close relationship between Modern British art and twentieth-century design culture, the collection includes works ranging from detailed interior studies and Neo-Classical subjects to more stylised architectural and graphic compositions. Particular emphasis is placed on draughtsmanship, pattern, structure, and atmosphere, with artworks that function both as objects of visual interest and as works strongly suited to traditional and contemporary interiors.
