Painter and illustrator Edward Bawden's five scrapbooks, assembled
over a period of more than 55 years, contain everything from
stamps, photographs, cigarette cards, Christmas cards and letters
to newspaper cuttings, drawings and autographs, amongst other
fascinating ephemera. Beautifully designed and illustrated with
over 250 images taken from these books, Edward Bawden Scrapbooks
reveals this wonderful and at times eccentric collection and
provides a new insight into one of the most popular artists of
20th-century Britain. The pages illustrated provide an alternative
window into Bawden's world, showing his very conscious awareness of
both Surrealism and the work of other contemporary designers and
typographers. But it is not only aficionados of Bawden who will be
beguiled by these scrapbooks: perusing them is like trawling
through an almanac of art, design and literature of the inter- and
post-war years and the work of other key artists of the era such as
Ben Nicholson, David Jones, Evelyn Dunbar, Eric Ravilious and Hugh
Casson also appears. Some pages are beautiful, some instructive and
others simply baffling but when taken in conjunction with Bawden's
watercolours, prints, illustrations, murals and other designs, the
scrapbooks are the closest thing we have to an autobiography of one
of the 20th-century's most reclusive and English of artists.
