These extraordinary works by Cecily Brown, of wrecked ships,
frantic and prone bodies, carefully illuminate the tensions between
the past and the present. Taking inspiration from Delacroix's
shipwreck paintings, as well as one of the most feted paintings in
the world; Gericault's, The Raft of the Medusa, 1818-19. In her
introduction to the book, Whitworth curator Dr Samantha Lackey
writes, 'These extraordinary works by Cecily Brown, of wrecked
ships, frantic and prone bodies, carefully illuminate the tensions
between the past and the present. Of course, these drawings also
push to the forefront of our minds the images we see every day on
our screens, of shipwrecked refugees attempting, and failing, to
make their own sea voyages.' The exhibition 'Cecily Brown:
Shipwreck Drawings' was shown at The Whitworth (University of
Manchester) from 12 November 2017 to 15 April 2018.
