About this Event
Join Lou Taylor, Pearl Binder’s youngest daughter, for an illustrated talk about the extraordinary life and work of this pioneering artist, writer and journalist.
Born into a poor Jewish family in Manchester, Binder moved to London’s East End in 1925 with little money or personal connection, but already a committed socialist. She went on to become a graphic artist, journalist and BBC television personality.
A passionate traveller, Binder visited Moscow in 1933 and continued to engage boldly with the changing world around her. Her lithographs, drawings and collages combine sharp social observation with a distinctive sense of satire. She worked throughout her life, including on a final series of portrait prints depicting London’s Punks in all their finery.
Binder’s work was recently featured in the exhibition Comrades in Art: the AIA 1933–1943 at Towner Eastbourne.
