About the Item
Vivan Bewick
British Matilda Tank
Gouache
6 x 9 cm
Signed to the reverse.
This striking miniature gouache depicts a British Matilda tank rolling through the bleak no man's land. Bewick produced this gouache as for the 'tank-recognition' series in Swill-bin. Swill-bin was a wall-newspaper produced by soldiers; it originated in the First World War and was revived once again during the Second World War.
Vivian Bewick (1912–1999) was a British artist and educator, notable for his contributions to mid-20th-century art and his role as a tutor at the Buckhurst Hill Community Association (BHCA). He was also a descendant of Thomas Bewick, the renowned 19th-century engraver celebrated for his depictions of birds and animals.
While fulfilling his military duties in the Royal Artillery during the Second World War, Bewick maintained his artistic pursuits. He contributed to the wall-newspaper "Swillbin," a tradition from the First World War, and designed army Christmas cards. Additionally, he illustrated technical manuals and conducted art classes and exhibitions, with critiques by James Bateman R.A. After the war, Bewick continued his artistic education and career, spending five years at St. Martin’s School of Art and London University. He also engaged in part-time teaching of adults in art clubs, societies, and colleges and exhibited at the Royal Academy, the Paris Salon, the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours, and the Royal Society of British Artists.
