Edward Burra is one of the most distinctive British artists of the 20th century, renowned for his vibrant, satirical scenes of the urban underworld and queer culture during the ‘Roaring Twenties.’ A master of watercolour painting, the exhibition shows how Burra pushed the boundaries of the traditionally delicate medium to create bold and vivid scenes. His practice is influenced by everything from music and performance to popular culture, literature, and art history.
