Night must fall, original vintage book cover
Poster colours
24 x 16 cm
Signed to reverse
This vibrant work was originally a book cover design for the play 'Night Must Fall' by Emlyn Williams. This psychological thriller follows the story of f a charming yet mysterious young man named Dan, who takes a job as a caregiver for Mrs. Bramson, an irritable and wealthy elderly woman living in a secluded English countryside home. Despite his charisma, Dan harbours a dark secret, as he is revealed to be a murderer. This striking composition features Bewick's characteristically masterful use of silhouette to create an effect of suspense and tension, in-keeping with the themes of the play. The bright colours against dark gouache make this piece stand out and notably distinguish it as a beautiful work within Bewick's extensive oeuvre.
Vivian Bewick (1912–1999) was a British artist and educator, notable for his contributions to mid-20th-century art and his role as a tutor at the Buckhurst Hill Community Association (BHCA). He was also a descendant of Thomas Bewick, the renowned 19th-century engraver celebrated for his depictions of birds and animals.

John Piper (1903 - 1992)
Façade (1987)
Lithograph
45 x 60 cm
Numbered 96/108 lower left and signed lower right, both in pencil. Printed by Piper and the screenprinter Chris Prater in 1987 after the original designs from 1942.
'Façade' was a sequence of poems written by the English poet Edith Sitwell. They were set to music by William Walton in 1922, four years after they were first written. 'Façade' premiered in 1923 in London, and was praised for its experimental modernist style. The choreographer Frederick Ashton made Façade into a ballet in 1931; Sitwell did not wish her poems to be included, but Walton's orchestral arrangements were used.
John Piper was commissioned as set designer for a 1942 performance of Facade. This lithograph is the design for the performance's curtain; the poetry and music of the performance were played behind the curtain, unseen by the audience. The Gothic house to the right was inspired by Eaton Hall...
