Henry Lamb is best known for his powerful and evocative portrait of Lytton Strachey in the Tate Britain gallery.
Although many of his pictures can be found in a number of metropolitan and provincial collections, much of his work remains unappreciated.
Since his death in 1960, he has received little in the way of critical appraisal, the exception being a book by Dr Keith Clements who also organised the only comprehensive exhibition of Lamb's work.
Lamb trained to be doctor from 1901 to 1905 but his passion for drawing led him to enrol at the Chelsea School of Art.
The exhibition comprises a mixture of paintings and drawings, including preparatory sketches for both the portait of Lytton Strachey and Lamb's famous painting, The Tea Room.
The gallery is open Wednesday to Sunday, from 2pm to 6pm and admission is free. Call 01323 811265.
