FIVE BEST EXHIBITIONS

The Courtauld Cézannes (Courtauld Gallery, London)
Card Players, Man with a Pipe, Mont Sainte-Victoire and several more feature in this showcase of the gallery’s collection of the French master painter.

Radical Light (National Gallery, London)
Segantini, Volpedo, Previati? Discover the Italian Divisionists who, between 1891 and 1910, linked their pointillist painting techniques with left-wing politics.

Cy Twombly (Tate Modern, London)
An overview of the past 50 years for an old American artist doing romantic gestural painting: burning colours, gnarled splurges, shimmering streaks, mythic resonance.

The Fabric of Myth (Compton Verney, Warwick)
The theme is mythology and textiles: legendary threads, carpets and cloaks by Beuys, Bourgeois and Moore.

Antony Gormley’s Field for the British Isles (St Helens College)
One of the hits of the 1990s: a sea of 40,000 pint-sized clay folk – obedient, expectant, all eyes, stopping dead in a line at your feet.
