Craxton pictures from the Britten-Pears Collection on view at the Aldeburgh Festival – Friday 3 to Sunday 26 June 2022

This year’s extended Aldeburgh Festival will include a tribute to John Craxton. All of the 13 Craxton paintings and drawings collected by singer Peter Pears, and normally hung in the Red House – the home he shared with composer Benjamin Britten – will be on view in the Concert Hall Gallery at Snape Maltings. Free entry.

An essay on this very personal Suffolk collection has been written for the festival book by Ian Collins.
