0997292 - A Canning Demonstration
by Evelyn Dunbar
Imperial War Museum
Evelyn Dunbar (1906-1960) holds a unique position in 20th century British art. She was described by Sir William Rothenstein as having "real genius" and was the only salaried woman war artist during the Second World War. Today Dunbar is best known for her wartime output and her depictions of life on the home front are much-reproduced. She was also an accomplished illustrator and muralist.
She has a strong association with Hampshire through time spent with the Women's Land Army at the Sparsholt Farm Institute near Winchester. Her experience there inspired her most celebrated work A Land Girl and the Bail Bull. This unique exhibition featured major works on loan from a number of national, regional and private collections.
