Second Nature: The Art of Charles Tunnicliffe RA
Join us for an in-gallery talk on the work of Charles Tunnicliffe RA, with Head of Collections Maurice Davies and Collections Manager for Works on Paper Morgan Feely.
Maurice Davies and Morgan Feely introduce this exhibition on the work of Charles Tunnicliffe RA (1901-1979), one of the leading wildlife artists of the 20th century. The display focuses on Tunnicliffe's role as a printmaker and book illustrator, who was well-known for his charming naturalistic depictions of birds and other animals. Tunnicliffe illustrated numerous Ladybird books as well as publications like Tarka the Otter, and examples of both feature in the display.
