Description
Alma Duncan was an unofficial war artist during the second World War drawing workers in industry. Her work incorporates both realsim and abstraction in depicting industrial subject matter. This exhibition with a single theme shows the artist's development through the 1940's and 1950's, and recent work of the 1980's.
