A DANCER IN A GREEN DRESS - MARIE c 1916 Walter Richard Sickert (1860 – 1942) P107
An exhibition of 48 paintings selected by Colin MacInnes, Michael Middleton and Nan Youngman from the British Council Collection. The idea for this exhibition came as the result of a lecture tour in East Africa in 1955 given by Colin McInnes, who reported back on the need for an 'exhibition of originals for a public, which, while full of enthusiasm had had little or no opportunity for seeing western painting other than in reproduction'. A catalogue, with an introduction by Michael Middleton, was published to accompany the show. No ISBN number.
The exhibition toured in Central and East Africa: Uganda; in February 1957 in Moshi, Tanganyika; Zanzibar; in March 1957 in Blantyre-Limbe, Nyasaland; in June 1957 in Ndola, Rhodesia; and Dar-es-Salaam,Tanzania and from 5 March to 2 April 1959 in Mauritius.

Painting
Work of art made with paint on a surface. Often the surface, also called a support, is a tightly stretched piece of canvas, paper or a wooden panel. Painting involves a wide range of techniques and materials, along with the artist's intellectual concerns effecting the content of a work.
