Sacha Llewellyn
‘The expertise of Sacha Llewellyn...is responsible for much of today’s interest in this era.’ (Rachel Spence, Real Britannia: revelatory paintings at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art  (The Financial Times, August 18, 2017)

Sacha studied history of art at the University of East Anglia and at the Courtauld Institute of Art. In 1995, along with Paul Liss, she founded Liss Llewellyn Fine Art. Specialising in British Interwar Modernism, she has been responsible for many themed and in-focus exhibitions and catalogues, as well as lecturing widely on the subject. Particular areas of interest include 20th century women artists, the first generation of Rome Scholars and the art of WW1 and WW2. She has curated numerous exhibitions, including ‘Alan Sorrell – A Life Reconstructed’, for the Sir John Soane’s Museum in 2013, the Popular Arts of the First World War for Morley College in 2014 and the Winifred Knights survey exhibition at Dulwich Picture Gallery in 2016. She has published widely on 20th century British art, most recently contributing the main catalogue essay to the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art’s exhibition True to Life; British Realist Painting in the 1920s and 1930s (2017).
