28 Aug, 2009 - 30 Apr, 2010
A family-friendly exhibition that captures the changing face of the 20th century through portraits from the museum collections.
Watch the movie (on issTV): issTV shows you around the Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum and gives you a sneak preview of the new exhibition "Hidden Gems" 20th Century Faces, which is on display until April 2010. Run time: 01'39 mins
The exhibition includes works by some well-known artists, including Augustus John, Henry Lamb, John Minton, William Ranken and Stanley Spencer.
There are some famous faces to spot too, including some from the worlds of royalty and entertainment.
Occupations represented include nurses, flower-sellers, newspaper boys, vicars, sailors and soldiers. Changing fashions are also reflected in the range of works which span the 1900s to the 1960s.
Pictures of people from all walks of life 'mingle' on the gallery walls. Manual workers rub shoulders with nobility; officers from the armed forces line up shoulder-to-shoulder with civilians.
