Beschreibung:
The exhibition tells the fascinating story of Bruton's artistic development, starting in the 1950s and ending in 1972 when he stopped painting to embark on a career in picture conservation. Like a number of his contemporaries, Bruton developed an artistic practice inspired by landscape and many of his early paintings were of the Welsh mountains and the Pembrokeshire coast. Alive to the aesthetic possibilities of places he visited, he made vivid painterly translations based on a stringent palette of black and white. They reflected his particular interest ?in the way things worked, things like valleys, rock formations and rivers.? 00Exhibition: Ikon Gallery, Birmingham, United Kingdom (06.07.-11.09.2016)
