Edward Bawden: Home and Abroad

9th February 2019 - 26th January 2020
Edward Bawden Gallery - Free entry


Discover how Edward Bawden's travels home and abroad influenced his art. 


Explore the depictions of his immediate surroundings from the villages, churches and country lanes of his native rural Essex, to London's celebrated landmarks. 

Bawden also travelled extensively throughout his career, embarking on his first trip abroad to Italy aged 22. This was an experience which he recalled, 'gave me the biggest shock of my life'. Other destinations that influenced his work include Canada, Portugal and many parts of Africa and the Middle East. Each new visit added to Bawden's extensive visual repertoire and all are explored in this exhibition.
