In this large-scale exhibition, Towner will bring together the wide range of work by the influential and inspirational artist and designer Peggy Angus. She studied at the Royal College of Art alongside artists such as Eric Ravilious, Edward Bawden, Barnett Freedman and Percy Horton. In 1933 Peggy moved to Furlongs, on the Sussex Downs, and her home became a creative hub for Ravilious, John Piper and many others. The exhibition will include examples of her early illustrations, portraits and landscape paintings, wallpapers and tiles.
