It's not everyday that you see an exhibition filled with work by some of your all-time illustration heroes (and Matt) arrive on your doorstep. Luckily, for me, a small collection of work by artists such as Edward Bawden, Edward Ardizzone, Emily Sutton, Mark Hearld, Jonathan Gibbs, and, of course, Matt, has moved in to the gallery in the University of Leeds, and so I took myself off for a wander round.
WOW, is all I can say.
The exhibition in entitled Nostalgia & Progress, and focuses on British illustration since the end of WWII. Seeing so much brilliant work really brought home to me exactly what makes illustration such an exciting and worthwhile practice, and why I so enjoy working toward something. After a difficult couple of weeks, this was exactly what I needed to recharge my creative batteries.
