Edward Bawden - Home and Abroad
Continues Until 26th January 2020

A keen observer
of the world around him, Bawden often chose subjects close to home.
The villages and farmyards of rural Essex and London’s monumental
buildings and train stations were frequent subjects. Yet Bawden was
very well travelled and visited Africa, the Middle East, Canada and
many parts of Europe.
Home and Abroad presents the places
that feature in Bawden’s work and explores how his surroundings
shaped and influenced his art.
