The centenary exhibition of the Society of Graphic Fine Art - The Drawing Society
My drawing Papered Over No. 2 was one of 400 works on show in this exhibition by the only national art society dedicated exclusively to drawing. I was elected a member of the Society in 2011, and for three years served on the Society's council.
The Society's first exhibition in 1921 was supported by members of the Royal Academy of Arts, together with many of the leading draughtsmen of the day. The renowned muralist, painter, architect, illustrator and designer Sir Frank Brangwyn RA RE Society’s first President, in a line of distinguished leaders that continues today. Both Ronald Searle and the painter-printmaker John Piper exhibited with the Society, and Dame Laura Knight RA was a prominent member.
