Two unique exhibitions running for the duration of the HSBC Cheltenham Music Festival — at the Summerfield Gallery, Pittville Campus, University of Gloucestershire.
Hoffnung
Unique to Cheltenham in the 50th anniversary year of his death, this is a rare chance to see the full range of Hoffnung’s comic and artistic genius — childhood drawings, illustrative water colours, bespoke musical instruments and the originals of all his beloved musical cartoons.
Gerard Hoffnung died tragically young at the age of 34 in 1959. His precocious talents for drawing and charicture led to enormous success throughout the 1950s as an artist, cartoonist, broadcaster and musician.
Painted Quartets
Painted Quartets honours Haydn, the ‘father of the string quartet’ with 20 violins, violas and cellos like you’ve never seen before. Leading artists from Cheltenham and around the UK are joined in this project by figures from the world of politics, design and music.
