Description

The role of mural and decorative painting has been in large part neglected in accounts of twentieth-century British art. On this number of specially commissioned studies, leading experts shine the spotlight on one of the so much vital and enduring, along side neglected images of the period. These include prior to now unpublished Festival of Britain designs in addition to little-known masterpieces from the primary generation of Rome Scholars Colin Gill, Edward Halliday, Glyn Jones, Winifred Knights and Tom Monnington. Many of these works are reproduced in color for the primary time.

More than 30 mural projects discussed and illustrated include Stanley Spencer’s Sandham Memorial Chapel, Burghclere from the 1920s; Rex Whistler’s Tate Restaurant; Edward Wadsworth’s study for a mural at De La Warr Pavilion at Bexhill; Frank Brangwyn’s Rockefeller Plaza, New York; The English Pub, by Edward Bawden; Telecinema Designs by John Armstrong; John Piper’s The Englishman s Home; Thomas Monnington’s ceiling for the New Council House, Bristol, and the Porthmeor Mural by Peter Lanyon, 1962/63.
