A War Childhood Revisited 1939-1945 Art Exhibition 3 – 10 November

A War Childhood Revisited 1939-1945 Art Exhibition Monday 3 – Monday 10 November. Free. St Cuthbert with St Matthias Church, 51 Philbeach Gardens, London SW5 9EB Bob Barling was born in London just before the outbreak of the Second World War and is now an Earl’s Court resident. This exhibition takes a nostalgic look at the London of the Blitz—the waiting sirens, nights spent in underground stations, ladies painting their legs with tea or cocoa because of the shortage of nylons, evacuations and rationing. It also shows the resilience of childhood; how it was possible, despite the ever-present dangers of war, to enjoy the boyish delights of collecting newts and sticklebacks, playing conkers and building camps on bombsites. The paintings show Bob’s affection for those times - the people drawn with warmth and character, the ‘pulling together’ and community spirit. Each picture is ‘captioned’ by Bob’s poetry, which enhances the action on the canvas. All donations go to the British Legion and War Child charities. Files are available of Bob Barling’s paintings and can be supplied on request with the caption. Any further information contact: Linda Wade T: 020 7373 0810 E: linda@lindawadedesign.co.uk
