Places in Time

Kenneth Steel (1906-1970) was a consummate printmaker who found critical acclaim during his lifetime. Yet today the Sheffield artist and designer, remains a largely unknown figure, outside a small group of dedicated enthusiasts and loyal collectors.

This exhibition hopes to further his reputation, not only as an important twentieth century figure in the field of British printmaking, but also an exceptional artist and designer in the fields of both railway art and commercial art.

Thankfully for us his keen eye for detail, colour and composition has left us with a unique record of areas of the British landscape. Locally that includes Teesdale and the City of Durham.
