I went to Summerhall arts centre in Edinburgh yesterday. I was particularly taken with a small George Wyllie exhibit. George was a Scottish artist/sculptor who died in 2012. During the war he was in the Royal Navy and he visited Hiroshima after the bombing. On display at Summerhall was his war time photo album including shots he took in Hiroshima. I would have loved to have flicked through the rest of the pages of the album which were tantalisingly hidden beneath a glass cabinet.
Outside Summerhall was this collection of materials. I've no idea what it was all about or who the artist is (assuming it's art and they were not just having a clear out)

How fascinating to see these photographs it is a great shame you good not see what else could be within the glass cabinet.
ReplyDeleteI know, the Hiroshima photos are of course very historic but even if the others are more personal they would still be fascinating to see.
