John Piper: Eye and Camera & Travel Notes

British artist John Piper (1903–92) defies categorization. In addition to producing some of Britain’s best-loved paintings, prints, and photographs of the 20th century, Piper designed fabrics, stained glass windows, and stage sets for a number of theatrical works (including six operas by Benjamin Britten). He also wrote extensively—both poetry and non-fiction texts—on the arts in England. John Piper: Eye and Camera & Travel Notes features eight large silkscreens from the artist’s series Eye and Camera, which are based on photographs of his wife, Myfanwy. The exhibition also includes two screenprints from the series Travel Notes, including views of Castle Ashby Avenue and Devil’s Bridge Waterfalls.
