Lecture: Tom McGuinness - his life and work

Lecturer Robert McManners relates the compelling story of artist Tom McGuinness who was born in Bishop Auckland, County Durham in 1926; the year of the General Strike. Despite not choosing to "go down the pit", he was conscripted to the collieries as a Bevin Boy in 1944 and worked as a collier until made redundant in 1983. His art shows a mastery of technique, painting and sculpting in eclectic media with a trademark expressionist style, chronicling the tough work lives of the region.
