FINDING THE LOST MURALS OF THE BARDFIELD ARTISTS
A talk by Alan Powers
Friday 25th April at 7.30pm
Quaker Meeting House, High Street, Saffron Walden, CB10 1AA
Tickets, £6 are available from the link below, or on the door.
Alan Powers will uncover the long-lost or forgotten works of Eric Ravilious, Edward Bawden, Kenneth Rowntree, Michael Rothenstein, Bernard Cheese, Sheila Robinson and Olga Lehmann that were a major national contribution to institutional buildings, ships and exhibitions from 1930 to 1987.
Alan Powers is co-curator with Neil Jennings of the spring 2025 Fry Gallery exhibition Bardfield Murals: Ravilious, Bawden, Rowntree and others, which tells the story through over 30 original studies and preparatory drawings, many from private collections and seldom seen.
Alan’s book to accompany the exhibition will also be available at a special discount for the evening.
