"Long Live Great Bardfield" will bring together a fascinating collection of paintings, prints, drawings and photographs in support of the autobiography of Tirzah Garwood, (Mrs Eric Ravilious), published in 2012

Closes 24th June 2012

to 2nd September
Bawden's considerable reputation in printmaking has sometimes meant that his achievements as an artist in watercolour are overlooked, although he worked in this medium all his life. This exhibition draws on the gallery's own extensive collection of his watercolours, with augmentation, and demonstrates his work starting while he was at school, through his studies at the Royal Collage of Art, and many exhibitions and commissions until his death in 1989, and will be a rare opportunity to follow Bawden's career exclusively in this field.

co-curated by Mark Hearld, this will be a selection of works which include animals, drawn from our permanent collection.

A popular occasion with fifty invited artists exhibiting over 400 works in support of the Gallery's major annual fundraising event.
