Quentin Blake: Birds, Beasts and Explorers
An exhibition of the work of Quentin Blake is at Compton Verney this Summer.
Sir Quentin Blake (b.1932) is one of the most celebrated illustrators and writers of children’s books working today. Over the course of a career spanning several decades, Blake has illustrated more than 500 books, bringing to life treasured literary characters in his unmistakeable style and inspiring generations.
Showcasing over 70 original illustrations, this Quentin Blake exhibition at Compton Verney takes inspiration from recurring themes in Blake’s work – birds, fantastical flying creatures and the joy of exploring in nature – as well as the flying creatures that call Compton Verney’s grounds home.
