Every creative has probably heard the phrase “show, don’t tell” at some point in their career, but Grey London decided not to take that advice when promoting the Tate Britain art gallery in London. For three historic pieces of artwork currently on display at the gallery, the agency describes in beautiful detail the stories they tell, the background behind their creation and why they’re still relevant today. Not only does it show that great art is more than just a pretty picture, but it gives you a chance to impress your friends with how much of a cultured art connoisseur you are when you slip these bits of insight into conversation.
