Summary
An exhibition at Pallant House Gallery in Chichester, drawn entirely from its own collections, features 160 works by 60 artists spanning 300 years of British landscape art. The show traces how artists from Thomas Gainsborough to Prunella Clough have responded to and depicted landscapes, with a focus on the evolving ideas of scenery rather than a comprehensive survey of British geography. Scottish and Welsh artists are better represented than their native landscapes, and the exhibition includes notable works like Julian Trevelyan's 1937 collage of Bolton.

· 4 pulledThe new exhibition of British landscapes at Pallant House Gallery in Chichester features 160 works by some 60 artists.
These span from Thomas Gainsborough and the local Smith brothers in the 18th century to the inner-city wastelands of Prunella Clough in the 1990s.
Scottish and Welsh artists are probably better represented than Scottish and Welsh landscapes.
This exhibition is not about British, or even English landscapes, but about how a broad range of British artists responded to the landscapes they chose to depict.
