Featured Artists
Edward Bawden
Edward Bawden was a successful and prolific English printmaker, graphic designer, illustrator and painter. He studied at the School of Art in Cambridge (1919-22) and at the Design School of the Royal College of Art (1922-6), where he was a contemporary of Eric Ravilious and was taught by Paul Nash.
Frida Kahlo
Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter known for her portraits, self-portraits, and
works inspired by the nature of Mexico. Kahlo had been a promising student
headed for medical school until she suffered a bus accident at the age of 18,
which caused her lifelong pain and medical problems. During her recovery, she
returned to her childhood interest in art. In 1927 Kahlo met fellow Mexican
artist Diego Rivera. The couple married in 1929, and spent the late 1920s and
early 1930s travelling in Mexico and the United States together. During this
time, she developed her artistic style. In 1938 the artist André Breton arranged
for Kahlo’s first solo exhibition at the Julien Levy Gallery in New York in 1938;
the exhibition was a success, and was followed by another in Paris in 1939.
From the exhibition The Louvre purchased a painting from Kahlo, The Frame,
making her the first Mexican artist to be featured in their collection. Kahlo’s
work as an artist remained relatively unknown until the late 1970s, when her
work was rediscovered by art historians and political activists.
Eric Ravilious
Eric Ravilious was an artist, illustrator and designer specialising in watercolour paintings of the British countryside, most famously of Sussex. Ravilious had a special connection to the area, as he grew up there and studied at the Eastbourne School of Art. He went on to study at the Royal College of Art and later became one of the most popular artists of the 1930s.
Bernard Cheese
Bernard Cheese studied at Beckenham School of Art and, following four years in the army, studied in London at the Royal College of Art from 1947, where his teachers included Edward Bawden. He taught printmaking at St Martin’s School of Art from 1950 to 1968, then at Goldsmiths College from 1970 to 1978, and Central School of Art and Design (1980–89). He designed posters for London Transport. He also did commissions for Guinness and the BBC. In the 1950s he moved to the artists’ community of Great Bardfield in Essex. His works are in the collections of the Tate, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the British Royal Collection, the British Government Art Collection, the New York Museum of Modern Art, and the New York Public Library.
