RESURGAM, 1 June 2020

Trevor Dannatt RA (1920 - 2021)

RA Collection: Art

Trevor Dannatt, primarily an architect, contributes to the Varnishing Day project with a mixed media artwork (print, pencil, and crayon). A drawing of several buildings crowds the bottom of the image, largely covered with black and green shadow and foliage. Underneath the illustration the artist writes 'RESURGAM', with the letters R and A highlighted in red, implying the Royal Academy's ability to 'rise again' in relation to the pandemic and lockdown.
