A contemporary to British Surrealist artist Paul Nash, Burra is known in particular for his depictions of contemporary urban life and the 1930s Harlem scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDespite being afflicted with many health conditions throughout his lifetime, he travelled extensively to France, Spain, America, and Mexico, their influences appearing across his paintings, his music, and his designs for the ballet, opera, and the theatre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis exciting publication, set to accompany the first Tate exhibition of Burra's works since the artist's lifetime in 1973, offers a close look at over eighty of Burra's works, some of which will be presented for the first time from the Tate archives. It reveals the life of an artist who experienced first-hand many of the most turbulent and catastrophic events of the twentieth century, including the Second World War and the Spanish Civil War, and reflected them in his increasingly surrealist work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47383782621420,"sku":"9781917055000","price":100.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/15132703482870.jpg?v=1773380221","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/edward-burra-9781917055000","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
