Work, Rest & Play is a touring exhibition from the National Gallery currently at the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle. It features spectacular works by 25 artists, including Monet, LS Lowry, Maggi Hambling and Paul Gauguin, all exploring the themes of work and leisure.
The pieces on show span a timescale of more than 400 years, reflecting the changes in the way we spend our time, from Monet's painting of a 19th Century seaside holiday and Gainsborough's nostalgic depictions of agricultural life to Duane Hanson's striking and realistic sculpture of a holidaymaker dozing in an airport lounge.
More details on the exhibition and activities can be found on the Laing Art Gallery website, www.twmuseums.org.uk/laing or by calling the gallery on (0191) 232 7734.
