Artwork Title: Camber Sands

Camber Sands, 1953

John Buckland Wright

NOTE: Several sites erroneously attribute this work to Tirzah Garwood. During his teaching stints, JBW would join his students on drawing trips to the beach. He encouraged them to sit down and sketch old weather-beaten driftwood, clouds and sand dunes, the sea, each other. He also sketched, and the images drawn would end up as engraved prints. This swirling curvaceous image is 'Camber Sands', dated 1953, and is used as the cover for a JBW exhibition held at Wellington in 1982. (http://www.otago.ac.nz/library/exhibitions/jbw/cabinet18.html)
