EDWARD BURRA
29 March 1905, South Kensington, London, UK
22 October 1976, Hastings, UK
Painter, printmaker and designer of scenery and costumes for Ballet, Opera and Theater.
Studied life drawing, illustration and architectural drawing at Chelsea School of Art and also at the Royal College of Art.
His first solo exhibition was held in 1929 at the Leicester Galleries.
He travelled a lot visiting, or staying for a certain periode, in several countries like Spain, France, Italy, Morocco, United States and Canada.
He was a person with a very difficult character. When the Royal Academy asked him to consider becoming an associate he answered, shouting, "f... off, I'm busy"!
In 1973, the Tate Gallery held a retrospective of his works where we could understand that he began as a surrealist to end as an expressionist/caricaturist, very close to British Modernism.
