Exhibition
The Dark Monarch - Tate St Ives
This group exhibition – which takes its title from the infamous 1962 book by Sven Berlin – explores the influence of folklore, mysticism, mythology and the occult on the development of modernism and surrealism; in particular with relation to the landscape and legends of Britain and Cornwall. Featuring major loans in and works from the Tate collection by historic and contemporary artists, it goes on to examine the influence of early modernism, and the reappearance of neo-romantic and arcane references, on a significant strand of current international arts practice.
