There is going to be a new book in September about the village in Essex which was lived in by so many superb artists from the 1930s onwards. In an article in the V & A Magazine (free if you have an annual membership) the authors, who are talking about Great Bardfield at the V & A on Monday 26th October at 7 pm, write that ‘the beautiful village remains intact, with a vibrant community, a small selection of shops, a museum with a bookshop and tea room. Interest in the other Bardfield artists [apart from Bawden and Ravilious] is growing and they are gradually gaining the recognition they deserve.’
