Over reading week I visited Compton Verney, an art gallery about 3 miles away from my house. They were showing Quentin Blake and as he's only like THE BEST THING EVER I went (ran) over to see it.
Quentin Blake - As large as life
15 October 2011 to 11 December 2011
Quentin
Blake is one of Britain's best-loved and most successful illustrators,
having won countless awards and appointed Britain’s first Children’s
Laureate. He is known by young and old alike, his name having
been synonymous with his illustrations for Roald Dahl’s books. Recently
Quentin has been commissioned by hospitals in the UK and abroad to
produce works which have a therapeutic effect on their residents. Quentin Blake - As large as life brings together over 60 works for the first time at Compton Verney, for visitors to experience their effects for themselves.
I thought these were just so great- after I'd finished going round the exhibition I went straight back to the beginning to have another look around.
