..................
With Peter Vass, Fellow of Oxford Brookes University
In this third talk in our series on Pre- and Post-war artists taking art outside the gallery, Peter Vass discusses the artists who welcomed the commercial opportunity to change the way in which people could see their work in post-war Britain, at a time when the country was in a state of depression and austerity.
Many artists, in a similar state of despondency, welcomed and responded to this opportunity to work.
Private and public companies from Lyons Tea to the London Underground sought to brighten the gloom through the use of graphic and vivid images.
Part of our Change Makers season of events
