Mr B’s Christmas Catalogue Review 2018
No-one can have captured more scenes of Bath, its inhabitants and elements in recent decades than Pete Brown. This new collection gives us all access to the work we might see him creating whenever we stroll through town and spot his easel on some windswept corner. From Milsom Street pedestrians gingerly negotiating flagstones that look like tarnished mirrors in the Spring rain, to crescents of rooftops in twilight snow; Bath comes to life in this ultimate Pete the Street collection.
