Exhibition 11th September-18th October 2015

Dylan’s Thomas’s groundbreaking 1954 ‘play for voices’, ‘Under Milk Wood’, has long echoed in the imagination of the founding father of British Pop Art, Sir Peter Blake. Jack House Gallery is showing a selection of prints from the richly detailed sequences of 140 watercolours, pencil portraits and collages comprising the illustrations he made in response to this wonderful and much loved work.

We will also have available on sale in the gallery a limited number of the paperback books published by Enitharmon Editions as well as a De Luxe clothbound limited edition which includes a print by Sir Peter Blake.

We will be hosting an evening of readings from Under Milk Wood alongside these marvellous pictures with the kind collaboration of Richard Stride of Portsmouth’s own Groundlings Theatre Group on Thursday 1st October 6-9pm.
