This exhibition was open until 9 September 2022.

An exhibition explores the concept of the male gaze in twentieth-century illustration through the female representation in Charles Mozley’s work. Cătălina Zlotea, a PhD researcher, analyses the work of the prolific mid-century British illustrator Charles Mozley (1914-1991) through a contemporary lens. At a moment when gender dynamics still define a perpetual cycle of inequality, this show explores how feminine stereotypes have been constructed and perpetuated in British visual culture.
