In 1934, a group of Ashington miners and a dental mechanic hired a
professor from Newcastle University to teach an Art Appreciation
evening class. Unable to understand each other, they embarked on
one of the most unusual experiments in British art as the pitmen
learned to become painters. Within a few years the most avant-garde
artists became their friends, their work was taken for prestigious
collections and they were celebrated throughout the British art
world; but every day they worked, as before, down the mine. The
Pitmen Painters premiered at Live Theatre, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, in
September 2007, before transferring to the National Theatre in
2008.
