The Borough Road Gallery at London South Bank University is delighted to present an exhibition of the work of Dorothy Mead and Edna Mann. Both former alumnae of London South Bank University – then known as the Borough Polytechnic – and two of the few female artists to have attended the classes of artist-educator, David Bomberg (1890-1957). In showcasing important yet little-known paintings and drawings dating from the 1940s to the 1970s drawn from The Sarah Rose Collection – itself representative of a key moment in the University’s history –, the exhibition seeks to highlight the individual nature of both women’s under celebrated achievements.
