Editor’s Note:
Brangwyn was an independent artist, an experimenter and innovator, capable of working on both large and small scale projects, ranging from murals, oil paintings, watercolours, etchings, woodcuts and lithographs to designs for architecture, interiors, stained glass, furniture, carpets, ceramics and jewelry as well as book illustrations, bookplates and commercial posters.
It is estimated that he produced over 12,000 works during his lifetime. Elected RA in 1919, knighted in 1924, Brangwyn regarded art as an occupation and described himself as a designer.
