Interior View of the Art Gallery 1894 Henry Edward Tidmarsh 1854-1939 Watercolour and gouache on paper Hammad, Independent Curator: There’s a certain feeling of a stage setting in that the people themselves are participating, looking as well as being looked at …It makes you think, well, what is it that they’re looking at? And what are they supposed to get from it? Emma, Learning Manager: You have to have the clothing and the confidence and knowledge to be able to behave in a particular way to be performative. So it invited a very limited group of people into that space. Kate, Curator: I notice the paintings that hang in those galleries today, Captive Andromache on our right, Autumn Leaves on our left, and how some things change regularly. And some things that never change at all. Purchased from Cassell & Co, the publishers of the book Manchester Old and New. 1894.28
