About the Item

Signed and dated Helen Bradley 1972 (lower right) Story inscribed on the verso. Image dimensions: 28.5cm x 24cm / 11.2 inches x 9.5 inches Framed dimensions: 39.5cm x 34.4cm / 15.6 inches x 13.5 inches Helen Bradley is one of Britain’s best known and loved artists. Despite her early interest in art, it was not until Bradley was sixty-five that she took up painting scenes of her childhood to show her grandchildren what life was like when she was a child. The artist transmuted her childhood memories in the everyday life of ordinary Lancashire mill folk into anecdotal art. Characterised by the frank and inhibited outlook of a young child, her bright, teeming pictures and her own delightful narrative, memorably reflect that gentle period. Folk in style, idyllic in mood, Helen Bradley’s pictures are as accomplished as they are imaginative. L. S. Lowry has said “Helen Bradley is unique.” Her works touch the hearts of those young and old.
