DESCRIPTION:May 23 - Nov 29\, 2026\nRemarkably\, it was not until he turned
  40 that Winston Churchill entered an art gallery. Before then\, the close
 st Churchill had come to art was an affection for cartoons. In the summer 
 of 1915\, however\, he picked up a paintbrush that belonged to his sister-
 in-law Gwendoline. Recently fired as First Lord of the Admiralty\, and ext
 remely depressed\, Churchill’s plunge into painting lifted him out of th
 e dark mood of the “black dog\,” as he called it. Joy returned. And so
  began a treasured hobby that would keep Churchill happy and engaged for t
 he rest of his life. By the time of his death\, in 1965\, he’d created o
 ver 600 works that now achieve eye-watering prices when they come up for s
 ale. “Winston Churchill: The Painter” presents viewers with 90 of thes
 e “daubs\,” as Churchill liked to describe them—wartime scenes\, lan
 dscapes\, still lifes\, portraits\, images of his home and garden.
