DAVE PEARSON

Dave Pearson (1937-2008) was a London born artist who spent most of his working life in Rossendale, Lancashire.

The writer and critic Edward Lucie-Smith wrote:“It’s not often nowadays that a really major artist slips through the net. In Dave Pearson’s case the fact is the more surprising since his major enterprises… were invariably both extremely ambitious and not at all difficult for ordinary spectators to construe and empathize with.”

English Customs

Drawings, Illustrations

Following Pearson’s immersion in the Book of Revelation series he moved on to working on the English Calendar Customs series, which started in 1973 and was worked on for several years. This involved a lot of detailed research and he filled 14 notebooks, each for a particular period of the year, with detailed writings and pen and ink drawings from the books he was reading. These pen and ink drawings are taken from those notebooks.
