Biography - Anglo-Welsh artist Frank Brangwyn was actually born in Bruges (1867), but his family returned to London when he was eight years old. He took to sketching regularly in his early teens and, aged 18, Brangwyn exhibited at the Royal Academy for the first time. During the 1890s he produced book illustrations, continuing to do this for the rest of his career.
In the 1900s Brangwyn began designing furniture, textiles, ceramics and other media. He was made an Official War artist in World War I, gaining repute through his posters, and was further recognised with an RA appointment (1919) and a knighthood (1941). Brangwyn was given a major retrospective exhibition at the Royal Academy, the first time this honour had been accorded to a living artist.

I was born in Mumbles near Swansea and the huge panels and sketches all around the Swansea Guild Hall enthralled me as a kid. What a talent.
A wonderful artist. Thank you for uploading this.

Our pleasure!
a masterpiece pure and simple
Yet another great documentary! Where would art lovers be without you, Goldmark?
Thanks. Having just seen the works Brangwyn left to the city of Bruges, it is lovely to have him come to life here on screen.
Thanks for uploading this film. It was great to watch and to see so much work. He's right, it is 'just a job' - but it's a bloody good job.
Thanks so much. This was a delight.
he is so right in the intro "its the doing that matters"
delightful
Ooooo! Big THUMBS UP for uploading this film, I was hoping you would! Going to really enjoy it!
Couldn't agree more 'a good day's work'. Most talk is just talk.
Job . ....Paula Collins a decent
.one day all this "history" will be reinterpreted from a more objective(and political!?) stand point! The life and death of the "empire" from the perspective of an artist's life . .

Hmmm he was clearly gay! I wonder if he ever got to really let that side out, I mean it was a shitty ass time for diversity back then...

@@daikayll1897 Yes it matters. I want to know if he was ever able to truly express his feelings in a deep way, so that if there is evidence of that it can empower others to do the same.

@@YoshiMario69 Empower others ? What garbage. His art is enough for anyone , gay , straight or whatever your persuasion. Try and rise above the need to cling on to something lad. You lead ?
