Their paintings are like "the collision of water and fire". The exhibition specially restores how the two artists created very different but equally fascinating paintings 250 years ago, allowing us to appreciate their competing and different charms side by side.

Carpenters Workshop Gallery presents Maison Démountable, one of Jean Prouvé’s models of the 6×6 house from 1944, which will be a permanent installation in Ladbroke Hall’s Garden. At the end of World War II, Ateliers Jean Prouvé was commissioned to build 800 temporary houses of 6×6 meters to be used in Lorraine and the Franche-Comté. Designers used this construction boom as an opportunity to experiment with new materials like metal and concrete, as well as to explore industrialised modes of production. These innovations were applied with the goal of improving the lives of the people interacting with them and the 6×6 house exemplifies Prouvé’s participation within this humanist design movement.

A major exhibition of the trailblazing surrealist photographer Lee Miller With the most extensive retrospective of her photography yet staged in the UK, Tate Britain celebrates Lee Miller as one of the 20th century's most urgent artistic voices.
