The ART OF STEEL
This website was created by Peter McCarthy with the aim of bringing together paintings and drawings representing the iron and steel industries that are held in the collections of publicly owned galleries and museums in the UK. It was subsequently extended to include representations of these industries in other art mediums including sculpture, photography, poetry, song and film.
The site is dedicated to all the workers who have made Teesside iron and steel since the first blast furnaces were erected alongside the River Tees in the 185os.
