TitleArtists and Designers Group brochure
Datec.1944
DescriptionTwo copies of a brochure for the Artists and Designers Group (Leamington Spa) showcasing their work. Each brochure includes black and white photographs of works undertaken by the group. Much of the text in the brochure highlights the part that art can play in boosting the morale during the war, stating that ‘the purpose of art is pleasure, and the artist will be fulfilling his proper function if the vitality and gaiety of his paintings can stimulate the ordinary man now, and give him lasting enjoyment in the greater leisure of a post-war world’ (/1-2).
