Visit to the exhibition “Migrations: Journeys into British Art” at Tate Britain

This exhibition traces the impact and influence of foreign artists in Britain over a period of five hundred years. Politics and economics, religious toleration and patronage, and new artistic institutions have all contributed to artists choosing to settle temporarily or permanently in Britain. Painters as diverse as Hans Holbein, Anthony Van Dyck, Benjamin West, J.A.M. Whistler and , in the 1930s, important figures such as Piet Mondrian, Naum Gabo and Laszlo Maholy-Nagy have all had a deep impact on the course of British art.
