Utmost Fidelity: The Painting Lives of Marianne and Adrian Stokes
Penlee House, Penzance, 19 September– 28 November, and the Royal Cornwall Museum, Truro, 19 September–21 November

The first thing that needs pointing out is that the artists reviewed here were a husband-and-wife team painting around the turn of the 20th century, with no connection to the art historian and painter Adrian Stokes (1902–72) who came on the scene later.
