Focus on seaside town

THE English seaside town of St Ives has long attracted leading modern artists and a new exhibition there looks at how modernist photographers developed new ways of seeing a rapidly changing world.

The Modern Lens, at Tate St Ives until May 10, includes works by photographers from Europe, North and South America and Japan, working between the 1920s and 1960s.

St Ives in Cornwall attracted major artists, including Barbara Hepworth, Ben Nicholson and Patrick Heron.

“We felt that it was a really important exhibition to bring together, to think about how modernism has developed in photography, but also to think about that in relation to wider art practice,” said Sara Matson, one of the exhibition’s curators.
