Leeds legend Arthur France features in 'Missing Portraits' DredieMann
IN THE PICTURE: Dr Arthur France at Harewood House,
The portrait will be displayed as a key part of the permanent collection at Harewood House, as the Lascelles family work with Harewood House Trust to continue to address the lack of diverse representation within its collection. A collection of objects and memorabilia on loan to the Trust will be on view including a cricket ball presented to Dr France by renowned cricketer, Sir Viv Richards, and a signed cricket bat from the West Indies tour of England in 2000.
Lascelles and Howse, Earl and Countess of Harewood, said: “There are several hundred historic portraits in Harewood House. They are exclusively of white people from privileged backgrounds, mostly members of the Lascelles family.aims to start to redress that balance by ‘retro-fitting’ the collection with a series of images of men and women of colour who have a contemporary connection to Harewood.
“We hope that by sharing Arthur’s story, and those of the portrait sitters that will follow, we can encourage positive discourse about our shared history and start to try to create a more equal society today.”
