Bryan Pearce has been included amongst thirty-four artists in a new volume titled Kettle’s Yard Art & Artists. Jim and Helen Ede’s permanent collection at Kettle’s Yard contains several of Bryan’s paintings, featuring both scenes of St Ives as well as buildings in Cambridge drawn and painted when he visited the city in the 1960s.
‘Kettle’s Yard Art & Artists invites readers on an intimate journey through the remarkable collection assembled by Jim and Helen Ede. Filled with excerpts from Jim Ede’s writings, archival material and personal letters, this book offers a warm, accessible introduction to thirty-four of the artists in the Kettle’s Yard collection. Organised alphabetically, each chapter begins with a newly commissioned photograph of the artist’s work in-situ at Kettle’s Yard and includes selected images from the collection, as well as a short biography. Conceived as a companion to the Kettle’s Yard House Guidebook, it’s the perfect volume for anyone wanting to deepen their connection with this unique place and its extraordinary collection.’
