A NEW exhibition featuring two official British war artists is coming to Maldon.

Hayletts Gallery in Oakwood House, High Street, Maldon will be displaying the work by Henry Moore and John Piper from Saturday May 31 to Saturday June 28.

Owner of the gallery, Sally Patrick, described the artists as "well loved British favourites, Henry Moore with his love of the human form and John Piper with his atmospheric historical buildings".

Etchings, screeprints and lithographs will be available

While this is a very relevant local story, can I ask why you can comment on this uncontentious issue, yet I can't comment on the story involving Essex, BAE and their £19k "shall we have a remote control plane instead of an admin staff member to free up a real police office to get his bum on the street this year project" story?

I disagree that this is uncontentious. Firstly it's not a news story it's an advertisement for a shop masquerading as a news story. Secondly I find it profoundly depressing that we have such things as war artists, we are still in the swamp.

And good luck Tired...

I do have to agree that the last paragraph did spoil the impartiality, but surely any art is art to someone, and if we want a vibrant town centre, these guys have got to draw a crowd somehow?

And as for the swamp, Sassoon, Kipling & Griffiths spring to mind, surely they are a powerful testament to war art being a good thing??

I'd live without the war art quite happily if we lived without the war...
