Acquisitions - three paintings by John Wiltshire, inspired by the Burra Archive

During 2021 painter John Wiltshire spent time researching our Edward Burra Archive and creating responses to the items he found.

The Archive includes photographs, painting items such as brushes, paints and test sketches, but also many quirky small ornaments and unique objects which Burra had about his studio.

We are thrilled to accept John's donation of 'The Low Sly' and the Trust has purchased 'I'm Painting Dearie' and 'Toes In'. The three works were part of his exhibition 'B is for Burra' at the Gallery last autumn, alongside the adjoining exhibition 'Burra and Friends'.
