Legacy

In March and April 1946, a memorial show was held at the Wildenstein Gallery in London with 59 works in oil, watercolour, etchings, drawings and pastel, dating from 1903 to 1945. A second show was held in August and September at the Ferens Art Gallery, Hull with 58 works—32 oils, 14 watercolours and 12 pastels.

In 1973, a retrospective was held at Maltzahn Gallery, Cork Street, London. His work is in the Tate and many other galleries in Britain and abroad.

A major retrospective of the Camden Town Group was held at Tate Britain in 2008, but omitted eight of the 17 members, including Duncan Grant, James Dickson Innes, Augustus John, Henry Lamb, Wyndham Lewis and Manson, who was, according to Wendy Baron, of "too little individual character".
