Explore celebrated artist Edward Bawden’s lifelong preoccupation with all manner of creatures including, delicate insects, farm grazers, domestic pets, exotic jungle and desert dwellers and fantastical shape-shifting beasts. The creatures that inhabit Bawden’s work reveal his extraordinary talent for visual expression and storytelling.
Inventive and humorous, Bawden put animals great and small to work in his commissions for book illustrations, advertisements and posters. This exhibition will feature Bawden’s work in a range of media throughout the course of his career, including his imaginative advertisements for Fortnum & Mason, and evocative prints of Aesop’s Fables.
