A founding signatory of the Vorticist manifesto, Jessica Dismorr went on to participate in a succession of key movements in British art through the first half of the 20th century. This exhibition traces her career from her early association with the Rhythmists in the 1910s to her abstract canvases of the 1930s, which Dismorr displayed at anti-fascist organisations alongside the likes of Edith Rimmington and Barbara Hepworth; work by these two artists, as well as other contemporaries such as Winifred Nicholson and Helen Saunders, is also on show here.
