On Thursday 18 April, WADAC will visit the Heath Robinson museum and gallery near Pinner. The permament exhibition combines original artwork with books, photographs, film & digital media to tell the full story of Heath Robinson’s artistic career.
The exhibition follows his career from art school in the 1890s, to his last works made during the Second World War. It describes how, having established himself as a leading illustrator at the start of the 20th century, he was forced to turn to humorous drawing to maintain his income.
He pursued both forms of art for several years, but humour eventually dominated. However, throughout his life he saw himself as a serious artist and painted landscapes and imagined scenes for his own enjoyment.
