Join Robjn Cantus for an exclusive in-person talk on Edward Bawden’s Life in an English Village as part of our Salon Series of Talks at David Parr House.
First published as a King Penguin book in 1949, Bawden’s illustrations have captivated audiences for decades. However, until now, these illustrations have never been reprinted in full. Robjn Cantus’s project, culminating in the publication of Looking at Life in an English Village in 2023, reexamines Bawden’s work, providing fresh insights into his life as an artist and designer, as well as the vibrant community of Great Bardfield in 1949.
During the evening Robjn will give an in-depth talk about Bawden’s original 1949 book. You will discover what inspired Robjn to revisit this classic and learn about his research process that brought this project to life. A Q&A session will follow the talk.
