  abstract: Edward Burra is one of the most distinctive British artists of the 20th century, renowned for his vibrant, satirical scenes of the uninhibited urban underworld and queer culture during the 'Roaring Twenties.' A master of watercolour painting, the exhibition will show how Burra pushed the boundaries of the traditionally delicate medium to create bold and vivid scenes. His practice encompasses a rich spectrum of imaginative works influenced by everything from music and performance to popular culture, literature, and art history. The first retrospective in London in 40 years, it will showcase Burra's interest in experiencing society and culture abroad. A keen social documentarian, his scenes also include macabre landscapes that reflect his experience of world events, including the Spanish Civil War, Second World War, and post-war industrial revolution. Burra's lived experience of disability influenced his artistic practice and may have informed his portrayal of marginalised communities. Discover an in-depth view of Burra's career with over 80 paintings and drawings along with material from the Edward Burra archive at Tate, providing visitors an insight into the artist's extraordinarily imaginative creative process. -- Tate website.
