Description: | George Charlton was a prominent artist and a lecturer at the Slade School of Art for forty years. Charlton lived with his wife Daphne, also an artist, in New End Square in Hampstead, which was badly damaged in the Blitz. The decision by Hampstead Council to tear down some of the damaged Georgian buildings there and erect a block of council flats instead was very controversial. Nevertheless, this sketch for a painting of the opening day celebrations gives a cheerful view of the new neighbours. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Hampstead Museum | Rights holder: | Hampstead Museum | Subjects: | Public services Art and Design | Temporal: | 1949 | Source: | Burgh House and Hampstead Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
