The work of Leslie Atkinson

7 November – 3 January

Atkinson (1911-2004) studied at the Royal College of Art in London under such luminaries as Edward Bawden and Eric Ravilious. In 1942 he was one of the first artists to record the devastation of the Bath Blitz. After the war he worked mainly as a book illustrator, whilst making studies of his family, sailors and film stars.
