‘The Art of Edwin La Dell’ Exhibition

About

Edwin La Dell (1914-1970) was one of the most influential printmakers of the early post-war period, promoting printmaking as an affordable art form in a time of austerity and producing lithographs for the ‘Pictures for Schools’, Lyons Teashops and Guinness series.

This exhibition, held at 67 York Street Gallery, draws from his family’s unique collection of original lithographs and previously unseen watercolours and oil paintings dating from the 1930s to 1970. These works depict his final home area of Kent, earlier work, including London, France and Spain, and his own series of Oxbridge colleges, public schools and finally New York. ‘Eddy’ La Dell was also an official war artist. His work is held in many collections including the Royal Academy, Tate Gallery, the V&A and the Government Art Collection.
