The second major show at Charleston’s new gallery in Lewes, Dorothy Hepworth and Patricia Preece, an Untold Story, raises more questions than it answers.

Every December, until his death in 2000, the London-based artist, Euan Uglow, would think up a new design, and hand-produce around 300 cards to send out to friends and family.

This Uglow card is among a collection on show at Austin/Desmond’s viewing room until January 12, alongside works designed by David Jones, Alexander Mackenzie, Dennis Mitchell, Edward Wadsworth, CRW Nevinson, Mary Martin and Viola Paterson.

One of the great loves of Lucian Freud’s life was his dog Pluto, a whippet who he named after the Greek God of the Underworld.

Pluto was present in Freud’s studio from 1988 to her death in 2003, his most prolific period, and was frequently painted by the artist, with and without human companions.

You can see Freud’s 1988 etching of Pluto in the current exhibition at London gallery Browse & Darby, until January 24.

In 1970 the Chinese experimental artist Li Yuan-Chi moved from London to the village of Banks, in Cumbria, just north of Hadrian’s Wall. His motive? To single-handedly convert a derelict farmhouse into an art centre, turning cowsheds into galleries.

Kettle’s Yard, in Cambridge, are running the exhibition Making New Worlds: Li Yuan-Chi and Friends, from November 11 to February 18, marking the profound impact the artist’s idiosyncratic Cumbrian venture had on 20th-century British art.

A work by David Spiller is instantly recognisable. Influenced by Picasso and Dubuffet, as much as Disney and Warhol, his canvases, stitched together by hand, display a smorgasbord of competing styles and techniques. They are usually dominated by a representation of a cartoon character.

Spiller’s estate is represented in the UK by Portland Gallery on Bennet St, St James, which is, from November 8 – December 1, showing the last of a trilogy of exhibitions of his work, this one dedicated to his output between 2010 and his death in 2018.
