Highlights from the Civic Offcies - Podcast 6

In her sixth podcast as part of getting the Swindon Collection online, Katie Ackrill, the museum's Art on Tour Project Engagement Officer has selected three paintings from those displayed at the Civic Offices in Euclid Street. This exhibition was open to the public before the Covid-19 lockdown, and I wrote about it in my personal blog last December.

Katie selected two absolute favourites of museum visitors: 'The Printer' by Sylvia Gosse to talk about, giving fascinating insights into the painting and Sylvia's life.

The second painting is 'Tower Bridge- A Wartime Nocturne' by Claude Francis Barry seen below.

and thirdly the Jack Smith's painting entitled 'Sounds and Silences', painted in the early 1980s it captures sound using visual means.
