Ebbw Vale

BURRA, Edward

© Edward Burra/Amgueddfa Cymru - Museum Wales
×

Artist Edward Burra was diagnosed with chronic arthritis as a teenager. Finding oil paints too heavy, he worked exclusively with watercolours instead.

Through his manipulation of the paints, Burra drew out vibrant colours and breathed new life into a medium that was often seen as old-fashioned.

This work situates the Ebbw Vale steelworks within a surreal and sprawling landscape.

GB. ENGLAND. London. Britains biggest anti-Vietnam war demonstration ended in London with an estimated 300 arrests; 86 people were treated for injuries, and 50, including 25 policemen, one with a serious spine injury, were taken to hospital. The Guardian suggested demonstrators seemed determined to stay until they had provoked a violent response of some sort, and this intention became paramount once they entered Grosvenor Square. 1968.
