All Things Considered

Robert Tavener
Posted by Simon Lewin

A number of things have conspired against me posting this sooner - but hopefully better late than never.

Our friend Emma Mason has arranged an exhibition of Robert Tavener watercolours and drawings at the Hop Gallery in Lewes which runs until 5pm on 17th March.

Robert Tavener (1920-2004) is well known for his printmaking but throughout his career he also explored watercolour painting and pen and ink drawings. Tavener was always sketching and took time, particularly later in his career, to paint. Tavener produced a relatively small number of paintings and drawings and many of the works in this exhibition are being exhibited for the first time. Most of the work in this exhibition was painted by Tavener in the decade 1980 - 1990.
