3 Art. Karl Hagedorn: Rhythmical Expressions promises a reassessment of a forgotten artist at Chichester’s Pallant House Gallery until February 3. Gallery spokeswoman Sarah Jackson said: “Karl Hagedorn’s paintings are some of the earliest and boldest examples of Post-Impressionism in Britain. Despite this, his name remains little-known to the wider public. A new exhibition at Pallant House Gallery looks to redress this and continues its mission to shine a light on overlooked but deserving figures in British art.”
