India Love Poems by John Piper

Complete set of unbounded limited edition prints, 1977, 37.7 x 56.2cm

This auction lot will be closed at the live Love & Life charity auction on Saturday 17 October 2015 at Watts Gallery – Artists’ Village. Please read the Live Bidding Conditions below for more information.

John Egerton Christmas Piper (1903 – 1992) was an English painter, printmaker and designer of stainedglass windows and theatre sets. He was educated at Epsom College and trained at the Richmond School of Art followed by the Royal College of Art in London. Although Piper is most closely associated with architectural subjects, the human figure appears in his work throughout his career and he is considered one of the most diverse artists of the 20th Century. He was an official war artist in World War II. Piper collaborated with many others, including the poets John Betjeman and Geoffrey Grigson on the Shell Guides, and with the potter Geoffrey Eastop and the artist Ben Nicholson.

This unbound complete set of limited edition prints was produced in 1977 for the book ‘India Love Poems’. The prints illustrated the set of poems by Tambimuttu (1915 - 1983). Tambimuttu was a Tamil poet, editor and critic. He arrived in London in 1938, and a year later he began to publish Poetry London, a small magazine that was to be important in the next decade.

La causa

Watts Gallery Trust and Transplant Links Community (TLC) have joined forces to host a charity auction to raise money for these two life-transforming charities. Watts Gallery Trust and TLC have come together for many reasons, but ultimately because they share a common belief: the power of art and social conscience.

TLC is a medical charity that directly saves the lives of children and adults with kidney failure in developing countries and teaches skills to local doctors so that many more can benefit in future. G F Watts, a Royal Academician and contributor to the founding collection of Tate, believed in the connection between art and social conscience and the power of art to change people’s lives. His vision continues today through the Watts Gallery Trust Art for All Big Issues programme reaching excluded groups such as prisoners, young offenders, reformed drug users, homeless, and those with mental health difficulties. Perdita Hunt OBE, DL Director of Watts Gallery Trust, and the other staff keep this vision at the heart of everything they do. TLC’s CEO, Dr Jennie Jewitt-Harris, is also currently Artist in Residence at Watts Gallery, combining her medical work abroad with her love of fine art.
