Includes oils, watercolours, drawings, collages, prints and sculpture. As a young man Alfred Cohen went to Pamplona to see the bulls run. He met Ernest Hemingway there. This lively exhibition at the new Alfred Cohen Museum starts with the magnificent lithograph of a dying bull from the 1950s. It follows his extraordinary images of animals through his art over five decades, and brings out their importance to his vibrant, joyful work. Alfred painted in Norfolk for the last two decades of a life devoted to art. The museum incorporates his studios as he left them. Over 70 works are on permanent display from a career covering five decades. Alfred Cohen’s work is represented in over 50 public collections in Britain, including the Arts Council, the British Council, the Government Art Collection, the Sainsbury Centre, Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery, Pallant House, the Barber Institute, and the Fitzwilliam Museum.

The School House Gallery has established a reputation over 40 years as one of East Anglia’s leading galleries for modern and contemporary art, and has had exhibitions of many artists including Moore, Hockney, David Jones, Gwyneth Johnstone, Derrick Greaves, Brüer Tidman, Elizabeth Humphries, Eric Gill, Sula Rubens, and Cohen.
