Duncan – I’m afraid that the Exhibition “Imagination and Reality: the Art of Arthur Ransome” closes tomorrow, after a successful season at Brantwood, Coniston, and I’m sorry you couldn’t make it. I found it a thrill to see AR’s original drawings for the books – you recognise them immediately, but there is something very ‘live’ about these originals. The accompanying lecture series was well attended – I went to most of them and enjoyed them but I have to admit that my sharpest memory was looking through the windows of the Brantwood Studio (where the lectures were held) and watching the sun setting behind Kanchenjunga on the other side of the lake.
The Brantwood events were organised by the Brantwood Trust in partnership with the Arthur Ransome Trust (ART). Further details and reviews can be found on the ART website at www.arthur-ransome-trust.org.uk. – go to ‘Camp Fires’, which is the code for these events.
