An exhibit I'd love to see, were I in the UK:
"[I]n an intriguing exhibition at the House of Illustration, the brilliant new public gallery behind King's Cross station in London—the first place in England to give real space to this underrated art—Shepard's work does not show Pooh's Hundred Acre Wood, or Ratty's slow-flowing Thames. Instead he is sketching amid the mud and gunfire of the World War I trenches—"that dreadful countryside," as Shepard called it, made vividly immediate in his depiction of shells exploding like puffs of cotton wool against grey mist and broken trees." link |
