EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment when renowned English artist and illustrator Edward Bawden (1903-1989) hangs his painting of Waltham Cross during the Great Bardfield Summer Exhibition in July 1955. Bawden was one of the first artists to settle in the picturesque village of Great Bardfield, located in the English countryside, and became a founding member of the community of artists who made it their home in the 1950s. The painting of Waltham Cross, just outside the village, is a testament to Bawden's keen observational skills and his ability to capture the essence of the English landscape. The image of the ancient bridge and the surrounding countryside, bathed in the soft light of the summer day, is a reflection of the beauty and tranquility that drew the artists to Great Bardfield. The Summer Exhibition was an annual event that showcased the works of the artists living in the village, providing an opportunity for them to exhibit and sell their art to the public. The exhibition was an integral part of the artistic community in Great Bardfield, bringing together artists, collectors, and visitors from far and wide. Bawden's presence and contribution to the exhibition solidified the reputation of Great Bardfield as a hub of artistic activity in the 1950s. His work, along with that of his fellow artists, continues to inspire and captivate audiences today, offering a glimpse into a bygone era of artistic creativity and community spirit.
