Edward Bawden (1903-89) was
a master printmaker, illustrator, watercolourist and designer and is today
recognised as one of the most influential artists of his generation. Whilst he
is perhaps best-known for his commercial work for companies such as Twinings
and Fortnum & Mason, and his linocuts depicting everyday England, a
significant body of work remains relatively unknown.
This exhibition will bring
together 160 works to re-introduce Bawden as a hugely versatile artist, who
effortlessly pushed the boundaries between fine and commercial art. It will be
the first to show the full breadth of Bawden’s artistic output, covering each
of the many disciplines he mastered over his 60-year career, as well as
exploring his lesser-known achievements as a fine artist.
Arranged thematically it
will explore the evolution in his style across recurring motifs such as
leisure, nature and architecture. Highlights will include a series of Bawden’s
moving war portraits, as well as a substantial amount of prints and watercolours
loaned from private collections - many which have never been exhibited publicly
before.
