At last I managed to get down to Barnsley to see the Brian Wildsmith (1930 – 2016) 'Paw's Claw's Tales and Roars The Art of Brian Wildsmith' at the beautiful Cooper Gallery and Barnsley town Hall, a pilgrimage to an artist's work I so admire. This exhibition runs until 4th January 2025 and I highly recommend a trip to visit it.
Many of Brian Wildsmith's fantastic kaleidoscopic illustrations have featured here over the years, so I have chosen initially to share his enigmatic, wonderfully observed ink drawings for my first post on this exhibition, for their wonderful fluid lines, exquisite draughtsmanship and for their delicious visible corrections.
Loved seeing the originals with the corrections too.
