Description: | Richard Bawden created this etching of St Katharine's Docks just after their closure as working docks. His atmospheric work captures the mood of the empty complex before its redevelopment for commercial use.
Bawden is the son of celebrated printmaker Edward Bawden. Early in his career, he had to make the difficult decision whether or not to follow his father. One critic later commented, 'Edward Bawden is a hard act to follow, yet despite working in the same media, Richard is very much his own man.' | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Richard Bawden | Subjects: | Leisure Cityscape Art and Design | Temporal: | 1974 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
